My case is an enermax ostrog. For my radiators i have Corsair SP 120s high perf. Top is i have 2 deepcool x fans. Intakes i also still have 2 deep cool x fans one in the front and one below of the case. I am deciding on which fans should i replace with those grand flex should it be those intakes or the exhausts? thanks! 

 

Well, if you want to replace anything with it, just replace the ugliest fan you currently have. :P If you would instead add it to the system though, I'd make it an intake, so as to somewhat negate the negative pressure you're currently generating in your case.

Where are your rads placed?

It seems you currently have rear fan?
