I have two different options I am working with here. The case I am getting is the Corsair SPEC-01. There is space for 2 fans in the front, 1 fan in the back, and two fans on top. The case comes with one fan btw.

Combo #1: Get two AF120 2-packs (4 fans), have two of them in the front, one in the back, one on top, and the extra space on top right next to it have a single fan CPU cooler. (Not using the fan it came with in this combo.)

Combo #2: Get one AF120 2-pack (2 fans), put one in the front + the fan it came with as well in the front, one in the back, and a dual fan CPU cooler on top.

Yes, everything except cpu cooler as intake, if you get the H100.

but didn't you say above that using the rear fan as exhaust is good?

You're talking about a 120 vs 240mm All in one water cooler?

Depending on your cpu of course, but the AIO's aren't that great, so I'd definitely go for a 240mm.
I actually do have a double, and wouldn't change it for a single.

Ok so cooler for exhaust, front for intake, and so I will use the rear one as exhaust then since the front is intake.

Creating positive pressure, amount of air flow in greater than out. So more fans pushes air into case than out. Using the rear as exhaust will most likely give you good result.

Edit: rear as intake will most likely give good results. My bad, typo.

So the only thing I'm changing is what? Using the CPU cooler as intake? The person above said to use it as exaust.

Wait, but didn't you say above that using the rear fan as exhaust is good? So now, just use everything as intake except the CPU cooler?
