Put one in the front as intake (less dust as in the back dust can accumulate and make the back or top exhaust)

for reference

If you have the air from the Hyper 212 cooler flying towards the rear of the case and the rear fan is an intake, that would cause turbulence. The rear fan will not be cooling anything since the air from the 212 is pushing it back towards the rear.

I don't read the reply to my posts anymore so don't bother.

That is not what I meant. I meant that my fan is blowing towards the RAM sorry for the confusion

You should flip the fan and make rear exhaust. If you have dedicated GPU, atm you don't have any fans proving it cool air. 1 front intake and 1 rear exhaust is best config.
