I have an nzxt s340 and want to set one of the fans as intake. Both fans are set as exhaust but they don't seem to have mounting holes for intake. In it it will have a 8320 with stock cooler (for now) and a gtx 960 Galax. Will it be alright with negative air pressure?

PC is Intel Core i5 6400, GIgabyte H170 Gaming 3, Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x4GB 2400Mhz ,Sandisk Ultra Plus 128GB, WD Blue 1TB, NZXT S340, ASUS Geforce GTX 960. Fractal Design Tesla R2 650W. http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/793XNG. Graphics card choices don't always have to be dictated on performance. If you want the game stream and power consumption of the GTX 970 get that. If you want raw performance of the R9 390 get that. In the end we are all gamers, so what if your buddy gets an extra 5 fps?

Have at least one intake in the front, and one exhaust in the back. Anything else is a bonus, really.

Its alright. I drilled holes into the fan so i could set it as intake. BY default what they do they just use the screws to drill the holes for the fans. Did you add a fan on yours or did you do what i did and drilled holes

I'm actually quite confused at the moment. Isn't it a matter of just flipping the fan over to draw air in instead of exhausting air? Why would you need to drill holes to have a fan set as intake?

The fans in the s340 can only be oriented one way. If you want it to be an intake you have to drill holes. I did that though and it worked
