placement of 2 fans

[stryoftheyearxx]

Hi, right now i have 1 120mm fan and 1 80mm. The 120mm is at teh bak of my case and the 80mm fan is on the side of my case with a vent connecting it to my cpu fan. would you suggest taking teh 80mm fan and moving it to the top of the case? or to the front of case
Thanxs

probably the front, then put the vent back on there w/o the fan.

I have a CM centurion 5 with that setup and it works extremely well...

put it in front of the case to create a good airflow, so the 120mm FAN to "suck" the fresh air provided by the 80mm FAN.

I put one fan in the back blowing out, and one in front sucking in (and blowing across the HDDs) for good airflow. I also replace any flat ribbon drive cables with round ones to further improve airflow. If I have a side fan, that's also a sucker (since the PSU is also a blower).

Push and pull is usually a good idea. People that make PSUs do it this way (usually unless it has just 1 x 120mm fan on top)

Lian li does push pull (front fan with a filter back without)
