Question about intake and exhaust fans
I bought a coolermaster case with the stock intake and exhaust fans (intake on the front exhaust on the back)
I have two gpus and they get hot so im looking to replace both of them, my questions are.
1.I noticed the exhaust fan is the one closer to the gpu's (at the back of the computer) should I put the intake fan at the back and the exhaust fan at the front?
2. Off top, would you recommend any specific company or at least RPM of fans that I can purchase? price wise im looking in the midrange ($20 to $30 each) Im assuming theyre 120mm fans.
3. there is another slot at the front of the computer to add another fan, would you suggest I buy 2 intakes and one exhaust (2 intakes at the front 1 exhaust at the back)
or 2 exhausts and one intake?
Thanks for your time.

According to what I just read, I had no idea before. I have a HAF 912

Your case supports a 200mm front? what case are you running?

They're pretty decent. I would recommend you grab the corsair fans as they are really well built and have changeable color rings :) . But honestly, for 6$/ea those fans are not bad.
The corsair fans are well worth the extra cost:

They also come in LED colors if you're interested. Take a look around for twin packs as well as you should save a few dollars.
