Are my Front panel fans efficient or not?

tls123

So, I have a question about my fans. I am unsure if the fans are efficient/productive with the way they are setup, I am unsure if I put fans side by side, would they add their intake force or something or would it just further inhibit the airflow? the metal between the two fans are just holes and I am unsure if the extra fans are just causing blockage to the airflow and just restricts it's entry. Below is a drawing I have to illustrate the fan positions

A few questions to get a better understanding,

What do you mean side by side?

What case is that?

Are you sure the side bits are intake, the fans look almost flush to the mesh and the sides look pretty solid even though theyre textured like vents?

Do you have a full picture of the PC to show other fans

 

And beyond that some advice, having fans pointing into the case will never restrict airflow, fans are able to move much more air than ambient pressure can add when your case is negatively pressured. Therefore, having fans at all, even if weak will always add more air to the case!

It may not be the best design, but if the CPU and graphics card load temperatures look reasonable I wouldn't worry about it too much.

 

As TatamiMatt said we can't really see if the front fans are behind the side intake or infront of it. We also don't know what components you have. I have computer case from 2007 with only side intake and a single exhaust fan at the back that works alright for my Ryzen 3800x.
