my case has 4 fan placements, 1 at the top one at the back front and side i have 3 fan (front back and side all intakes) i am wondering is there a more optimal way of cooling my pc even if it only drops a few degrees. my cpu is cooler by the hyper 212 evo and my gpu the arctic accelero twin turbo. any help would be highly thankful

What case do you have?

 

The best is having:

Front >

Back <

Top <

Side >

 

> = Intake

< = Outtake

I would put 1 in the front, and 1 in the top.. if your temperature is high on the GPU you could put one in there, if not put it on top.

 

On my case i have 2 intakes (230+200mm) and 4 outtakes 3x120mm (radiator) and 1x140mm fans^^

 

I know my case is a bit bigger, but as long as you have 1 intake it should be fine. But test the temperature with and without a fan in the sidepanel for your GPU :)

 

Also the easiest thing would be just buying yourself a fan on ebay or something. You can get pretty decent case fans from 5 USD and up :)
