Not sure if I'm posting in the correct place but I'm taking a guess anyways.

 

So I have an Cooler Master Master Case Maker 5

 

because of my bigger 280 mm h115i cpu cooler, I had to mount that in the front. And unfortunately because I had to mount this in the front I can only have 2 fans in there so a total of 5 fans total in the case. 

 

My question is should I have the 2 fans on the cooler as intake or outtake? 

and what direction should the other fans be going

 

Should the 2 top be intake or outtake

 

Should the back be intake or outtake . 

 

I've never worked with the radiator in front So i"m not sure, if it wasn't I would have it all figured out. 

 

 

My current layout is the top and back are intake while the cooler is an outtake.

Front, bottom, side = intake.

Back, top = exhaust.

Outtakes don't exist outside the movie industry and have nothing to do with airflow.

I have no clue why I used  outtake instead of exhaust to be honest...

 

Thanks though. I was figuring that.
