Front 140mm intake position.

[Thisunami]

I have a Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV Glass and I can have 2x 140mm fans at the front. My question is would the front intake fans be better in their stock configuration of being stacked from the bottom up or should I move them up as high as possible (which is what I'm leaning towards considering I don't have any hdd's). Which is better for airflow in a case that will have 2x 140mm exhaust on the top pushing though a radiator and a 140 in the rear as exhaust?

As long as you still have an intake sending room temperature air directly at your GPU (which is really what the bottom intake is for in most cases), I'd move them up. The intake pointed at the GPU is key, so maybe move one up and keep the other low?

 

...or just add a third fan?  MOAR FANZ!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111elevenone

yeah i moved the front fans up as high as possible. I was just worried about them being so close to the top that it would create a pocket between them and the top fans where the air would get trapped but im actually noticing a 3C drop in the temp of my gpu and a 1-2C drop in ambient temps. so it looks like it's all good even if i have a little heat pocket at the front top of my case.

Unless you have major heat sources with marginal self cooling near the bottom-rear of the case then I doubt it will make much difference.  Any heat generated low in the case will naturally tend to rise anyway.
