[Question] Airflow?

[AnonGuyy]

Hello, I've recently got parts for a first build and some extra fans.

 

The case I got has front fans so I was wondering if it would be more beneficial for either:  (The back fan will always push air out)

1) The front fans to push air in and top fans push air out?

2) The top fans to push air in and front fans push air out?

 

I'm sure it probably wouldn't make much of a difference, but I thought I'd create an account here to ask anyways!

 

You can vote on this Straw Poll* or just here on this thread.  Either way, thank you all very much!  

 

P.S. Thank you for the YouTube videos!  They've taught me a lot and they're all very helpful!  +100!

What case do you have? Are those fans noisy? What fans are you replacing them with?

This is the case: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EWHOIDC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

These are the fans: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F6S10DC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

Noise is not really a big deal with me sense I use headsets all of the time and if I'm using speakers, whatever I'm listening to is loud enough to where there's no way you could hear the fans.

Um go front in and sides out, should help get more air through at once since there will be front to back airflow with a little bit being taken out the top (perhaps position your cpu cooler to face uppwards).

Air cooled CPU? If you are having trouble with CPU cooling, then you could do top intake. But if CPU is already fine you should do front in, top out or top-rear out. But use only 2 fans on each so you won't go for negative pressure.
