Hi there, just built my first computer yesterday and need some help with the fans.

I have 3 case fans, one which came with the case and the other two which I bought. One which came is at the bottom front of the case sucking air in. Am I correct in saying I want to place the other two at the back top pushing air out?

In general follow this, Heat rises (use it to your advantage), and you want the air go front to back of case. So yes the bottom front use as intake, rear fans = exhaust, top fan = exhaust (if you have it)
