Need a little advice on my cooilng setup adn fan direct... I have a 600T with a front 200mm fan blowing in... two side fans in a window blowing in... two top fans in a window blowing in and one 120mm fan blowing out that has had the factory grill removed. I had thought about making the window fans blow out instead of in to see if it would help any with my temps. It will be kinda of a pain to spin these the other direction because of the way they are mounted but would it be worth the effort? I always thought this case should have a larger rear fan or more rear exhaust fans. Thx for any advice..
 
That is a ALOT of intake and probably have quite a few "hot spots" since the air cannot be exhausted. I would recommend the front intake, Side intake, (bottom intake if you have it) then have the rear out take, and top out take (as heat naturally rises) and this should be ample exhaust to intake ratio.
 
Most case are built for Front/Side Intake and Rear/Top as exhaust since heat rises. It would be more natural
 
Right but I have an H100 up top and this will pull heat into the radiator... most of us with the H100 in a 600T push air down into the radiator. My exhaust fan has no grills so it flows very well.
 
Top as intake will certainly lower your CPU temps, but at the expense of increased heat inside the system.

Balanced airflow is best, maybe slightly more intake than exhaust.

Step 1: Add up CFM of intake fans
Step 2: Subtract CFM of exhaust fan from intake fans
Step 3: Realize that you are screwing yourself over pretty bad by having the fans setup the way they are.

I have a H100i as well at the top of my case, I still do exhast at the top, even though I am pushing "hot" air through my temps are fantastic at idle and at load. And I do not sacrafice internal temperature. I would still recommend doing the push/pull config at the top with the H100 as an exhaust.
