As the title states I'm wondering about whether my current fan setup is as good as it can get.
Case is a Fractal Design Define S - Windowed

Fan setup is as follows: 
Front intake: Corsair H115i 280mm radiator in push/pull config with 4x Corsair ML140 fans. 
Bottom intake: 120mm corsair casefan 
Back exhaust: 140mm Fractal Dynamic GP-14

Top exhaust: 140mm Fractal Dynamic GP-14

Any input on this? :$

Not really much to say really, it seems good.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Funny thing is, it can fit another 2 140mm fans in the top..which is what I'm considering. Might not be worth it though, as it would probably create negative pressure xD

Don't put too much fans, it can make what you said as negative pressure. It's good so far
