Carbide 300r Airflow

[wikilor]

I've just finished my rig:

 

 i7 4770k, R9 290 tri-x, 16gb Corsair Vengeance, Asus Z97 PRO, Corsair RM750, Carbide 300r, Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo, 120Gb samsung 840 evo, 2tb WD green
 

Now I have 4 case fans 2 x 140 that came with the case and 2 x 120 AF quiet edition.

 

Rightnow I have a neutral config with 140mm front intake 120mm side intake and an 140mm rear exhaust 120mm top exhaust.

 

My question is, will the temperature of system get better if I change the top exhaust to put that fan as a second front intake considering that I have an 212 evo and an open air Gpu ?

You'd benefit temperature wise with more intake. You could do the top as intake (more fresh to your CPU air cooler). Front intake and side intake and have rear exhaust and one exhaust in the top back of the case.

What temps do you get? Where is the front intake fan positioned (top, bottom, middle)?

 

I have a similar case (Corsair 230T), stock cpu cooler and 5 fans (2x 120 front intake, 2x 140 AF quiet edition top exhaust and 1x 120 rear exhaust). Temps would be even better if I installed the bottom intake fan and an aftermarket cpu cooler but I'm fine with ~30°C idle and 60°C heavy load.

 

With the side panel fans you should get similar or even better results.

Idle temps are about 35C° more or less while the gpu 37 - 40 , I still haven't got load temps because strangely the cpu under stress test throttle itself down to 3.5 GHz
