About air pressure

[xgn]

Is this the most optimal setting for air pressure? if not then what do you use ?

you want more fans blowing in than out

 

usually front+bottom+side is in and rear+top is out

But if its slightly negative wont they pull from the front intake ?

Alright but in my case i have 3 top fans with 108,4 CFM and the 2 bottom ones only have 59,3 CFM so technically the ones at the top is still going to pull more from the front than bottom.

Fan specs are generally unreliable and it's better to look at in-depth reviews and benchmarks instead. 

There's no clear guide for optimal airflow--aerodynamics isn't exactly simple. 

Things to keep in mind are what the overall airflow is like, where air might draw in from negative pressure and whether or not that is filtered, and it's better to be safe than sorry if dust is a concern.

ok so in you're opinion front and bottom as intake? i don't like that idea of pulling so much hot air in the system but i will keep it like this then maybe i try it later on thanks.

Uhh, I didn't give any specific recommendations because it isn't that simple. If that's what you need, it would help to list your specs.
