Fans question

[sinfulsix]

hey guys, I built a computer for gaming.

I have 4 120mm fans

1 in the front intake
case side fan intake my question is i see people say omg dont use it as a intake and some say they do?

Is the case fan on the side a intake or out take is blowing on to the gpu bad? or would i see better results with a outtake

i already have a 120mm cooler master r4 on the top and the back?

here is what im thinking you should do put 2 in the front because it has a dust filter... then put one on the side(out) 1 in the back(out) and then face the cpu fan if you are not using the stock fan so(hyper 212 etc etc) if you can not move the fan or just do not want to just leave it the top being empty should not affect... then try and get a fan for the top so if you can fit a 200mm fan get it

what kind of case do you have?

Depends on whether you want negative or positive pressure. I use 2 intake (high static pressure), 3 exhaust(high air flow).
