OK i've got a stock 800d in stock config.
Noctua NHU12p-SE2 w/stock fans - no restrictors used.

How do i add fans to improve CPU cooling? a couple intake 120mm's up top in front two slots? Would that be the simplest way to go about it?

I'm not really looking to replace all the 140mm stock fans guys. Just compliment them.

Thanks for any input you can provide.
 
Set the 140mm rear fan as intake instead of exhaust, and add some fans at the top and set those as exhaust. Position your cooler so it will take the air from the rear fan.
 
I do not currently have 120mm fans @ the the top of the case, cant really try what you suggest.

I could however flip the Noctua HSF fans, and flip the rear exhaust as well. Without top exhaust, wouldnt i just have a bunch of hot air buldup at the front of the case, this way?
 
It will still go up, hot air rises remember. I've tried without fans and it works great. Give it a shot.
