Hi. i have this cabinet https://zebronics.com/products/cabinet-gaming/strider
The fan on the side is slow. I have a space for a rear fan, some space at the bottom but no space on the front. It's closed. My CPU has a fan (duh! ) and GPU has a fan. that's it. I want to attach a fan at the back. Should it exhaust or intake? and the fan that came with the cabinet intakes heat i think and the rear panel is just beside it.

"Should it exhaust or intake?"
It should be exhaust.

"the fan that came with the cabinet intakes heat i think"
Yes, it's an intake fan but that means it should pull in cool air from outside the case. While exhaust fans blow hot air out of the case.

Yes but only if you have another fan then only intake at bottom as from bottom it cant pick that much of air then the side
1st priority intake from side
if you have another fan then use it for bottom too
