Hello,
Its hard to explain what I wonder but I will try,I hope you will understand me.
So look at this case : http://imgur.com/eT3bX56 this is the Thermaltake core v71 pc case that I wan't to buy.You get 1x140mm fan for exhaust at back 1x200mm on top as exhaust and 2x200mm as intake in front of the case included.Now you have room for another 200mm fan on top as exhaust.So now I wonder that if you add second exhaust 200mm fan on top isn't that a waste?I mean the highest front fan blows air in and it goes directly under 2nd top exhaust fan that will blow that air out so this air that came in didn't go through the components so it is useless right?Or will this exhaust fan only blow hot air out?I mean look at this pic : http://imgur.com/eT3bX56 I draw red arrow, imagine If there are no hard drive cages,This arrow I tried to show you what I think this fan blows air in and it goes directly out by that exhaust fan so its useless right?this intake fan losees potential beacuse of that exhaust fan beacuse it blows that air directly out and it didn't go through any components in PC.Is that true what I think or is it false?Is that exhaust fan only going to blow hot air out?Please help me I hope you understand what I mean.

Exhaust fans pull hot air out of the case, wherever they may be.

There isn't a direct 'path' from the front intake to the frontmost exhaust.
The components heat up the air inside the box, the exhaust fans blow it out the top and back.

Adding another one on top may not be a 'waste', but it also may not be needed. Only add fans if things inside are running too hot, or if you just want more bling.

I think that 2 intake in front and 1 exhaust at back and 1 at top is good enough ill just add 2x120mm fans at bottom for intake so ill have more intake for positive air and I think that will be good enough ty for reply :)

When you get a case like the one mentioned that has space for 2 top mounted fans , its normally designed with a 240mm rad water cooler in mind.

I'd never drop an exhaust in that top front position with an aiir cooler that is facing front to back - in my opinion it will actually cause a detrimental effect to the CPU cooler as you're creating a deadspot in front of the CPU fan
