Hi, I was thinking about getting a NZXT S340 Elite case and I noticed that it only comes with 2 exhaust fans. One in the back and one on top. Both are 120mm airflow optimized fans. I heard a lot of people online complaining about components getting too hot in that specific case (especially the GPU) so I was thinking about buying some extra fans for it too (1 or 2 intake fans on the front).
The problem is that I don't know what sort of fans I would buy (Airflow or Static pressure fans) and what the best fan configuration for this case is. My case will be fully air cooled btw. I will not have a radiator (or anything else) blocking the front of the case (on the inside). I would buy a Airflow optimized fan in a heart beat if it wasn't for the big front case cover blocking air from coming in directly, but there are 2 gaps on the bottom and top of the front face cover that allow air to pass through (as seen here: http://www.pcgameware.co.uk/images/NZXT-S340-Elite-top.jpg there is a gap on the bottom as well). I just don't know if these gaps are too small to let air pass through flawlessly to the Airflow fans in the front or if I would need a static pressure fan instead.
Also should I get 2 120mm fans or 1 140mm fan (or possibly 2 140mm fans)?
