Hi i just bought a silverstone tj09 case and two 120mm fans to go with it for the top part of the case.
How should i set up this fans? should i set them up to suck air into the case or push air outside of the case?
 
And 'information' is already plural, so you don't need to look dumb by adding an S.


Generally you want a 1:1 ratio of intake and exhaust fans. With almost all cases you'll put an intake (sometimes two) on the front and exhaust fans on the top and back. Sometimes you can intake from the side panel as well.

Of course, there are always exceptions. Some new cases have the PSU in the front under the hard drive rack, so you've got air exhausting from the front.
 
I have the TJ09, and I found air flow directions to be more important; certain fan location, direction, rate combinations can help or hurt the CPU and GPU cooling.

Use temp monitoring to tweek it. With my Zalman 9700 it was actually better to leave any top fans out (even though I've got extra fans available) as they affected the front to back, and out, cooling of the Zalman.

What rpm / flow fans did you get?
