currently have an intake in the front, 240mm radiator at the top as exhaust, as well as a rear exhaust. gonna get another fan and move radiator to the front as intake. should i change the 2 top to exhaust or intake for a more positive pressure?

 

here is a link to my pc parts:  https://pcpartpicker.com/user/pdbdd/saved/ will get the corsair hd120 rgb 3 pack fans to go with it.

If you can install fan filters on those positions, sure. Just as long as you have more intake airflow than exhaust, you should be generating positive pressure.

 

The only thing I would worry about is if either of the top or rear fans are sucking in exhaust air somehow if you changed them to intake.

I have a blog! And a list of guides I've posted

Move the radiator to the front and use the two fans for it as intake.

 

Install one top fan as close to the back of the case as possible, and install the rear fan.

 

OR

 

Install both top fans and don't install the rear fan.

 

Installing one back and one top fan will offer slightly better temps.

Have rad front intake and 2 top exhausts. Thats probably best, when you don't give full specs to see what options you would have.

That is bit confusing. Do you mean using front rad as exhaust and top fan as intakes? That wouldn't work unless OP has air cooler for CPU and rad is for GPU.

Sorry, I meant use the front rad as the intake and the top/rear fans as exhaust.
