So I want to build my first pc and I am worried about the airflow in it and here is my problem. I will build it in a corsair 780t with a 280mm aio cpu  water cooler wich is going to add 2 140mm exhaust fans and there is already an exhaust on the back in total 3 140mm fans set as exhausts and I can only have 2 140mm intakes in the front because I can only plug in 5 fans to the motherboard(z97 gaming 5) so will this give me negative air pressure? if I could plug 1 more fan into the motherboard I could have 3 120mm fans in the front as intakes. Is there a way to plug in more then 5 fans into the z97 gaming 5 pls help.

fan splitters, or using the mother board headers slow your exhasts to ballance with your intakes.

Its a Championship not a Belt!

Add a dust filter to the rear and flip it to intake.
