Any suggestions on how to configure my current components for positive air pressure? I know I am not configured like that now and could use some advice on an optimal setup. Below is my current config.

 

Case:

be quiet Silent Base 800 (no window; has 1 fan mount on each side panel, both are filtered)

 

Intake (front - filtered):

2 be quiet Pure Wings 2

 

Exhaust (unfiltered):

2 Corsair SP120Ls (top; h100i)

1 be quiet Pure Wings 2 (rear exhaust)

 

PSU Fan (bottom filter):

Corsair AX860i Fan facing down

CPU: Intel Core i7 5930K | CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i | Mobo: MSI X99A SLI PLUS | Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB | GPU: MSI GTX 970 4GD5OC

Storage: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB + Western Digital BLACK 2TB | PSU: Corsair AX860i | Case: be quiet! Silent Base 800 | OS: Windows 10 Pro (64-bit)

I would suggest to add an extra fan at the bottom as intake or to either keeping the three exhaust fans always close to idle and have the fronts run at a higher speed making it so that the intake volume is higher than exhaust.

Optional Fan Installation

Top (mm)
2 x 140/120
Bottom (mm)
1 x 140/120
Side panel (mm)
1 x 120
 
if you install the 2 top once, put the one on the bottom and side panel in as well.
Since the fans on the h100i should not be turned down too much.

I speak my mind, sorry if thats a problem.
