i have recently purchased a NZXT h440 case for my build which is now completed, but i do not know how to configure the intake and exhaust for my fans, so far i am running 3 120s for exhaust up front, and 3 140s for the intakes in the back and front.

also, the two 140s up top have to stay as an intake because they are for my radiator

my specs
Case: nzxt h440
Gpu: gigabyte nvidia 960 g1 gaming, 2gb
cpu: AMD athlon X4 860K
Mobo: Gigabyte F2A68HM-DS2H (P0)
Psu: corsair corsair 600m
Cpu cooler: Corsair h115i

please and thank you, JTC

wouldnt that make the radiator suck in hotter air from the inside of the case?

The rear fans should take care of the heat from the gpu, and there really isn't anything else that should be produce a significant amount of heat other than the cpu, which the radiator should be exhausting outside the case. I'd rather have the heat created from the cpu getting exhausted from the system a quick as possible. I have a Noctis 450 which is almost identical to the 440 and I have a Swiftech h240 x2 mounted on the top and the fans are set as exhaust, the back fan is also exhaust and the 3 front fans are intakes.

okay, because the fans on the radiator are pulling in air am i slowly heating up the system instead of keeping it constantly cool?
