New fan, what should my setup be?

Xnedra

sooo I have a 3 fan setup, and Im replacing 1 of them to Noctua's redux 120.

Im currently having 1 intake and the 2 others blow out.

should I stay on 1 and 2 or should I have it the other way around?

(the others are old fans that work well, not sure if its better to change it up cuz the Noctua one is probably stronger)

馃檪

my cooling is usually fine, just looking for the most optimal way to operate if Im already changing between fans

(btw, Ryzen 7 3700x, RTX 2060)

With three fans i would most likely use 2 intake and 1 exhaust, so then you would atleast have positive pressure.

Case? I would also go with 2in, 1out, but sometimes case does make difference.
