Recently building a pc in thermaltake core v31. Looking into positive pressure setup, but I am not sure will it work.
Intake: 2x140mm front, and 1x120mm bottom.
Exhaust: 3x120mm. 1 rear and 2 top.

But there's one moment that confuse me - CPU fan. Will it count for exhaust? Or not really matters? Should I remove 1x120 from top or rear for positive pressure? Or keep as planned?
Thanks and sorry for my english.
 
Solution
You want the CPU fan to direct air towards the rear or top exhaust fan. In all likelihood, you'll be directing it towards the rear on account of RAM clearance.

Your current fan layout is absolutely fine; nothing to worry about there.

Allright, I am back with another lame question. Sitting in front of my fresh arrived thermaltake core v31 and see that hdd cage almost entirely block airflow from 1x140mm front fan. Ocf air still will be pass through cage but will there be enough intake for positive pressure?
