Hey Air cooling enthusiasts,

Need a help with case fan placements, I own 3* 120mm cooler master sickleflow x and 3* 120mm thermaltake riing fans. Current fan placements are 3* thermaltake as a intake and 3* cm fan for exhaust in my Phanteks p400 case. I guess cm fans can do better at pushing air to the components when compared to tt fans, since the RPM and cfm is greater than tt fans (and also physical test with hand :3 ), should I need to rearrange cm fans as intake and tt fans as exhaust, help me senpais ;_; , ty in advanced.

Sounds like a good idea. It's usually best to have positive case pressure so having the powerful fans as intake would do that.
