Help regarding airflow

Ok so currently you have everything backwards. The top and front fans are acting as exhaust and the one back is acting as intake. This is not a good idea. When you have that much negative pressure and no filter on the intake you end up with loads of dust in your case. I would flip the two rad fans to intake, and the back fan to exhaust, then run the 3 exhaust at lower rpm than the intake so you still have balanced airflow, dust filters, and aesthetic.

So I have two top fans the the intakes, I happen to an exhuast fan right next. Is it countering the effect of the intake right above it?

How do I manage the fan speed in the bios? Ii switched the fans like you suggested and the aio fans are running MUCH quieter

Have you looked through the motherboard settings? There should be controls for each fan header.
