Should I put fans on the floor of my case?

[jking2]

I have a CM Storm Trooper case.

I bought better 120mm fans to replace the 2 on the front which are intake. I also have 2 on the side which are also intake. The top 200mm is exhaust, but the back fan I have as intake because I have a liquid cooler for my CPU.

Everything is fine and dandy so far, but I am wondering if putting my 2 stock 120mm on the floor of the case to act as intake would be beneficial in any way. Would this be a bad idea seeing as I only have one exhaust or would the extra intake help?

I love fans, I can't have enough fans, I would just throw it in there and find out if it changed the temps or not after testing without it for a while.

If your system is running cool, then there is no need to add more noise-makers (fans).

Having more intake than exhaust means positive pressure, positive pressure means less dust. So in that sense it may be beneficial over long term life of fans (unless you plan on cleaning regularly - I can never be arsed), but you have to weigh that against the increased noise, unless you get a high quality fan ofc.
