Fan Setup for Corsair Carbide 400C

[sickforthecure]

Hey guys, I've been wanting to get more fans to get better cooling on my components and I wanted to know what would you consider a good fan setup for my case in particular, I have a Ryzen 5 1600 with the Wraith Spire and a MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X, non OC.

My idea was basically to get fresh air as quick as possible, so that means that I should be aiming for a possitive pressure setup?

I'm sorry if I'm missing some info, because I'm new on the subject, I will apreciate a lot hearing your opinions

I would try to have positive airflow

So, for example, would you suggest the following fan setup?

Front: 3 120mm Airflow (AF) fans as intake

Top: 2 140mm Static Pressure (SP) fans as exhaust.

Back: 1 120mm Static Pressure (SP) fan as exhaust.

 

Would that work? I still don't understand a lot about AF and SP to be honest... That doesn't mean that I'm just guessing, I'm just trying to think what could be a logical setup.

Static Pressure fans are used more commonly when there is something in the way like a radiator and the setup you suggest is neutral, Linus or Luke did a airflow test to see which fan setup is the best and it turns out to be having 2/3 in the front and 1 in the back is the best setup

So I only should be adding one 140mm AF fan in the front as intake?
