hello,

im planning on getting some new fans for my computer which currently has 3 fans but can support 5 i believe. it does have two fans at the side where the hard drive is. the case is a zalman z11 plus. the problem is im not sure where to put air flow fans and where to put static pressure fans. i only have one hard drive. im also no sure where to have the fans putting in air or taking out air. also im planning on getting a new cpu fan which possibly is the hyper 212 evo and im not sure if i should get two other static pressure ones or air flow. i also seen that there were these PWM static pressure fans and im not sure what they mean.


if you can help that would be nice, thx.

Basic rule is air goes from the bottom and front to the top and the back, air flow fans go in open areas, like the back for the case, pressure fans go in closed of areas, like around the hard drive cage
