So I bought the parts for my pc some days ago, including a S340.

The S340 comes included with 2 fans, one rear exhaust and one top exhaust.

 

Now I'm a bit worried about the fact that it does not come with front intake fans.

 

In what way would I get the best airflow? By installing one intake fan in the front and keeping one exhaust fan at the rear of the case? Or just leaving it at stock?

 

Thanks,

I currently won't have money for some new fans, so I would need a temporary setup with the two included fans

 

So one front intake & one rear exhaust or two exhausts?

best airflow and coolest components is 2 exhaust. if you want the least amount of dust build up in your system you would need to have 2 intakes (filtered tough)

it's up to you what you really want. at any rate, you won;t be experiencing top airflow with 2 fans. but it won't kill your system either to keep it running with only 2 for a while

As a temporary setup, yes, one in and one out. You don't need to dump the money on noctua's though. I have two 140mm Corsair case fans in the front and they work awesome as an intake. Not as good as Noctua sure, but if you don't have tons of cash for that kinda stuff you don't need to spend loads for money to have a good intake setup. I highly recommend 2 140's though, that case is made for that.
