yep all exhaust 

perfect, flip those front 3 fans to intake and leave the rest exhausting, should basically create a wind tunnel through your PC to remove hot air and introduce cold air to components akin to this

hello i have this case air flow at the moment im using 

my question is if im adding 2 120 fans to side inside the case where is marked red this will help or flip the 3 front fans that will intake airflow and adding 80mm fan beside the 280mm aio ?

what the best combination  for this case 

sorry for bad English 

 

the aio 280mm sorry

 

case: antec ax90 mid

So do you have all exhaust fans currently?

 

For the best airflow id say stick with the 4 fans you have, adding more fans probably wouldnt do too much extra, the 4 fans should be plenty and then have the front 3 intake, the 240mm AIO as exhaust and the rear fan as exhaust

System specs:

Theyll do something but not enough to justify spending any money on imo, unless you want the filled out aesthetic

 

the side exhausts will increase pressure but disrupt the front fans airflow path so they dont really help much overall, and the 80mm will exhaust more air but you have plenty of exhaust as is and 80mm generally arent as effective without higher RPM so will either be loud and just as good as the 120s or quiet and not as good, also cant guarantee there will be screw mounts for the 80mm so there will be some added work/DIY involved there for minimal benefit.

 

I'dd say you have a good fan setup as is with 3 intake and 3 exhaust, its well balanced intake and exhaust and because of the AIO its slightly more positively pressured so your PC shouldnt collect nearly as much dust compared to the negative pressure of all exhaust you had previously

Which case are you using? I don't remember. 

I've been using computers since around 1978, started learning programming in 1980 on Apple IIs, started learning about hardware in 1990, ran a BBS from 1990-95, built my first Windows PC around 2000, taught myself malware removal starting in 2005 (also learned on Bleeping Computer), learned web dev starting in 2017, and I think I can fill a thimble with all that knowledge. 😉 I'm not an expert, which is why I keep investigating the answers that others give to try and improve my knowledge, so feel free to double-check the advice I give.
