I just bought parts for a new build and I want to plan how i'm going to position stuff in the case. I have worked out most of it but I cant decide how to position the top case fans on my 230t. Do I make them exhaust fans or intake fans? 

 

Also don't criticize the build. I could have waited to get a 970 and such. I needed something soon :/

Personally, I always have the top fans as exhausts due to the simple fact that heat rises.

Thanks, Don't have side intake but I'll live.
