Humm can u go 140mm back intake? If not, just go with what you have and adjust exhaust. Also you could mod the case and add a 120/140mm intake between the HDD tray and the PSU, that will definitelly help, you copuld go 1 top 1 bot 2 front intake and 2 top exhaust that way.

Planning on trying StarCitizen (Highly recommended)? STAR-NR5P-CJFR is my referal link

I will probably mod the case like you said for an extra intake fan and no way to put a 140 on the back intake. Also adjust the exhaust how?

I have an Anet A8 as my project printer and a i3 MK3 for when I want things to work. 

 

I extrude my own filament and haven't saved a penny yet.

Your arrows for PSU and GPU are wrong way. PSU fan is always intaking. Same goes for GPU fan/s. Top right fan is useless, you can do with 2 top exhausts, rear intake and front fans. Like I said in your previous thread.

Just curious, what case do you have? And personally, I would use the fan on the bottom as intake and the ones at the top as exhaust.. except I probably wouldnt use 3 140mm fans...

Here's my setup! Works really well. However, I changed this a month ago by removing the top exhaust and sealing that vent up to minimize noise.

 

Front (Intake):

One 140mm and another 120mm

Bottom (Intake):
One 140mm! So my GPU gets fresh air directly 

 

Rear (Exhaust):
Two 120mm! The rear-top exhaust works so well. It dropped my CPU temps by ~5c. It was hotter with just a single 120mm at the rear.

Should I put the middle top fan as intake and bottom as exhaust so I can feed cool air straight to my cpu cooler

I think it's better to feed your GPU more air than your CPU!

Well my gpu runs fine right now with 66° under load and I am going for the best OC I can with my cpu I currently max out at 65°. So should I go top intake or top exhaust?

Oh okay then by all means go ahead with ur idea man

EDIT: OOPS. Read your question wrong. I don't know man... better to test it out but I doubt it's worth the hassle haha

That would probably just add turbulence, besides better to take cool air from the front/bottom and exhaust out the top/rear, thermodynamics likes to be worked with then again better tech guys than me have been wrong so...

the concept of cool air sinks while hot air rises is barely noticeable in a small space like a PC haha. If it was a building, sure. A huge server/datacenter space? Sure sure
