Front: 2x120, restricted by carbon filter and HD cage

Bottom: 1x120 restricted by metal with circular holes in it and magnetic dust filter

Side: 1x120 or 140 restricted by same metal as bottom but with carbon filter

Top:2x 140/120 restricted by relatively open mesh

Back 1x 120 restricted by hex mesh

Fans: 2x 120 bitfenix spectre pro

2x corsair sp 120 we

1x Silverstone ap 122 (120)

2x nzxt performance 120 fan (bad)

That's a nice list of fans you have there, but what should we do with it?

 

EDIT:

I'm confused as to what you're asking?

 

The topic doesn't really give much to go on, and there's no question in your post.

On top, on the side if possible.

 

I prefer having more exhaust fans than intake fans.

x2 120mm Corsair SP120s on Front [Intake/Pull]

x2 140mm/120mm BitFenix Spectre Pro's on Top [Exhaust/Push]

x1 120mm Silverstone on Back [Exhaust/Push]

 

Those are really all you need, but throw the NZXT 140mm/120mm on the bottom if you want. Just keep a balanced airflow. The easiest way, is to draw imaginary lines with your hand projecting where the wind will travel.

 

But, if I was you, I would buy the twin pack of the Corsair AF140s and put them on top and move the Spectre Pro on the back. Put the rest of them away.

That be bad, negative pressure= dust

But I have more fans than my case can hold.

I want someone to tell me what fans should go where_.

Exhaust for the side, get all that hot air produced by the GPU and CPU out.

That would make negative air pressure tho. I don't want more exuasts than intakes.

Nope. Your intakes are filtered. Where should the dust get into your case?

Thats really controversial: I read articles that show an improvement of the temps, and I read some that prove the opposite. In the end it just makes your PC louder, and even in the best case, only brings up to three degerees improvement. Just stick with the setup MrYuriy recommended.

OK.

But I'm saying with the first thing if the side was exhaust , there would be negative pressure and she would be sucked in though all the unfiltered holes in back of case

What about having the majority as intake (front and back) then just make the top as exhaust seeing that heat naturally rises anyway and the side can just be passive because of the GPU you're using. I mean not much to say because of the type of chassis.

Wouldn't back intake be useless? It would go in and immediately be sucked out top.

Ok I think I'll go

Corsair on top

Bitfenox on back

Nzxt on side (whatever IDC)

Nzxt on bottom

Bitfenix on bottom front, Silverstone on top front

Any problems (this was based off looking best thorough window, noise isn't that big of an issue for me now

It's all about balance. You don't want a bunch of fans that barely serve any purpose besides making a bunch of noise and if you're worried about dust, yeah you'll need that positive air pressure. Here's a suggestion: get a side pic of your pc and throw it up in ms paint or whatever and try planning the most effective way it can work with only the fans that you NEED. Use blue lines to represent cool air and red as warm air and whatnot and it'll work out fine.

Just a question: How do you deal with the fact that your motherboard only has two fan headers?

Wait a minute. sirtoby's right. You didn't really mention what motherboard you currently have. The MSI 970A-G43 does only have two fan headers... sorry but this won't work man.

He din't mention anything like that in his posts. So I just assume he doesn't have any.

Exactly, so I guess he'll just have to buy one... if he wants that kind of hassle. Should have planned this beforehand though but ah well. What's done is done.
