Fans

[starpilot101]

I am building a new system and need some advice on the fans. The system has 5 fans and would like to know which to set for push or pull. The first 2 fans are 120mm on the side cover. The next fan is on a Corsair H60. the 4th fan is on top of case and is 140mm and the last fan is 120 on lower front. Ant suggestions would help! BTW the power supply is on the bottom of the case with a 120mm fan on the top of power supply. If I knew how to display an image I would. The case is a Roswell Challenger case.
will be running the new AMD 8 core processor with dual His 6770 1gb video in crossfire on a gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 motherboard with 16gb of ram on windows 7 Pro. Also 2 500gb hard drives with 2 DVDR Drives. 660 watt power supply.

Thank You,
Michael G. Graham

Finally, i have a total of 5 fans in my Antec P183 case.

3 Front intake fans all 120mm facing the rear of the case.

1 rear exhaust fan at 120mm

and 1 top 120mm exhaust fan

i have removed all the pci slot covers and cut out any mesh tht covers the fan slots.

case is on floor and although dust is present isnt tht bad and the case remains very cool.

the wind tunnel pushes the cold air out the system and the hot air out the back.
