Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

We could start a huge thread about this but the general rule of thumb is you want to basically balance your intake and exhaust. You want to be able to move the warm air generated from your components as quickly as possible and replace it with cool fresh air to cool the component down otherwise known as forced convection
Having to much intake creates a postive pressure in the case which causes your airflow to become a turbulent mess. To much exhaust and you sufficate your components by not replacing the air which has to be pulled via air vents and cracks in the case, which again hurts your airflow.
You want your intakes on the front to be pulling air in, and then rear fans exhausting the warmed air out. Many people, including myself add a blowhole which sucks away the trapped hot air that rises to the top of the case. Many people also add fans to the side panel to give direct airflow over hot video cards and or CPU's.
But you want to balance it otherwise your going to have a turbulent noisey case that sucks every bit of dust in your house.
