I need help with fans

Damien_X

I have 2 120mm fans and i need to decide where to out them in the case and in what configuration but i have no experience in such things. Im fighting dust here so i need a setup that focuses on reducing dust buildup.

Well, not so much you can do with 2 fans. I would just put one in the front and 1 at the rear. If your case have dust filters and you have room for more fans I would add a third one to the front which would maybe create pressure inside the case which in turn will force air out of the case so the only way dust can enter is through the dust filters. If you don't have dust filters and can't add any then your only option is to clean the room regularly, which you should do anyway.

Yes, as the person above said, get another one, 2 in front as intake and one as exhaust. This will create positive pressure and reduce dust buildup.

In the end, it depends on the surroundings, but having positive pressure helps mostly.

There's gonna be dust no matter how you place the fans. Best way to combat dust is to clean whole room more often. Having them both as intakes where your dust filters are will help some, so does blocking top vents so when your PC is off, there won't be any natural dust fall.
