Fractal Design Define S Fan Config

AimlessFlame

First of all here is my future build:http://pcpartpicker.com/list/GRy7wV

 

The case comes with 2x140mm fans and I will be buying one more of the same type. How and in which slots should I position each of the fans? Will 3x140mm fans be enough to get good temps?

Put 2 fans in the bottom front,for positive pressure.

the other fan in the top back,because heat rises.the fan on you cpu heat sink should have the fan in the front and be blowing air thruog the heatsink

2 in lower front and 1 in the rear of case, use the moduvent system it has to block all three of the top vents to maximize silence. Three fans should be fine for a normal amount of cooling, just add more over time if required.
