Air intake / air out take set up help

zak rooley

Hey there everyone I just have a quick question I have Corsair 350i case and im unsure about the orientation of the fans.

Which has on the front 2x140mm (useing 2x120)
on the top 2x140mm(useing a H100i on there)
and a rear 120mm

im guessing that the rad would like there cooler air so would i use that as a in take ?
but the top doesnt have a air filter.

the front has a filter but do i run that in intake or out take ?

what ever happens i end up with a odd number of intake or out take because of single rear fan I see people saying posative pressure is better to help stop dust settleing as much.

 

heres the case in question any ideas of what i could do would be nice the pc is no way near finished being built at the moment but could see this coming us as a bit of a puzzle for me when the time comes.

Generally its front and bottom intake and rear and top is exhaust (or outtake if you wanna call it that). Sides are up to you.

I have the 750D which is almost identical in terms of layout and I have it like this: 2x120mm filtered intake at the front, 240mm rad in the top as exhaust and 1x120mm filtered intake at the back of the case. I don't get much dust, and the rad gets decently fresh air. 

 

EDIT: Mean 120mm exhaust at the back and filtered intake at the bottom.

ok well im missing the extra intake at the bottom so maybe do you think i should use the rear as a in take then ?
