Top fan position

[DJSimonR]

Hi guys, I'm looking for a little advise on fan position.

 

I currently have 3 fans intake on the front, 1 fan exhaust on the back and 1 fan exhaust on the top. The case I use can mount another top fan and I have one spare to use but I am concerned that mounting an exhaust fan will just drag fresh air been pulled in by the top front fan back out of the case. They are very close together.

 

My current temps are pretty good, I have a Ryzen 2600 and RX 580, they both run at between 40-60c. I just thought that I could up the spare fan and maybe get the case a little cooler.

 

Should I just leave it or could I run the extra top front fan as another intake?

 

I've included a couple of pictures for reference. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Your setup looks pretty good for airflow already. I would not add another fan unless temps are getting critical. Adding another fan also adds noise.

That's what I was thinking. Thanks.
