Fan placement help

[DeadByDawn]

I have two 120mm case fans in my Thermaltake Tsunami.
The one pulling air IN at the bottom front of the case is a thermaltake 79 cfm led fan.
The one pushing air OUT is a 105 cfm Panaflow fan.

Should i have the high cfm fan, pushing air out, or pulling air in? Should i switch these?

Thanks in advance

UHH i dont think itll matter.. so its fine how it is.. but you can switch em around for the hell of it if you want to see if it does make a difference

If it does make a difference it wont do much to your temperatures.. so no need to worry about it

How should side case fans go?

My case came with a side fan blowing out, should they be pointed to blow in?

I have 2 80mm's blowing in and 1 120mm blowing out in addition to the side fan.

It would be better if you had the side one sucking in... and if you can dremel another fan hole for the back so you have another one blowing out.

Its best to have the front fan (usualy on the bottom) pulling air in. Its then best to have the fan in the rear blowing out. This makes sense because heat rises and the rear fan is usually higher than the front fan.

In my case, i am trying to figure out is it better to have high cfm in the front or back if you had to choose.
Still hoping for an answer without having to try it out (im lazy) --

If i had to choose id have more air sucking in because then there is more cool air hence better cooling

I'd have the highter cfm in the back sucking out. That way more hot air gets evac'd and you are helping create convection, where more cool air will naturally get pulled in from the front to replace the hot air sucked out the back. It is also less noisy that way.
