Fan questions....

[groovedmb]

ok, so I've got 4 80mm fans in my case, and one 120mm fan in my PSU. Now my question is how to position them.
One fan is on the top of the case, one on the side, and two on th back. Now how should I mount them, and why?

The 2 on the back and the 1 on the side should be sucking in. This should bring cool air onto you CPU and vid card. the PSU and top fan should be blowing out. The hot air rises, and these will help get the hot air out.

or front two are in and rear two are out so theres an even airflow

for my next case design, i may do only blowholes on the bottom and top and raise the case a lil so theres space on the bottom.. that way airflow goes straight from bottom to top

I've been contemplating doing that myself. Set one up so it blows straight at the video card. The other one blowing up next to it and two 120mm fans sucking out the top.

i didnt mean just two fans... i meant ENOUGH fans to cover the WHOLE bottom part of the case and enough fans to cover the WHOLE top of the case

so are you talking like three 120s or like ten 80s? for each panel of course
