I'm pretty new with building PCs

I just wanted to know if it's better to have 2 intakes (front and rear) with 1 exhaust (top) or front and side intake with rear exhaust? or if anybody has a better fan setup suggestions; maybe 2 exhaust and 1 intake? idk. I'd be happy to try it out. Thanks

1 or 2 front intake, 1 exhaust. anything more gives diminishing returns. side intake is for a overclocked GPU if your gpu is running hot

Or rather exhaust if OP would be using open-air cooler style on GPU.
