I say the more the merrier. I would try and fill up all available slots personally. The more fans, the better the air flow will be and the lower RPM you can run them at to generate the air flow.

Yes but more fans means more noise and more dust even at low rpms. 

 

2 fans will be fine but it depends what you want to overclock and to what extent with what cpu and gpu.

nah, you wouldnt notice the additional noise from the fans because you can lower the RPMs they spin at, instead of say 60% speed, you can run them at like 40% which for most decent fans, is quiet to nearly inaudible.

If you're overclocking a 7980XE to 7,000GHz and running dual R9 390Xs, load 'em up. If you're running a more standard setup, 2 in 1 out is fine. I have all four fan slots filled in my S340 Elite, but the top exhaust only kicks in above 65C on the CPU. The front Corsair ML140s run at about 30% most of the time, and the rear Noctua Redux 120mm fan runs at about the same speed, IIRC. I've never had an issue.

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.

The two stock ones are fine. If you have just the two stock ones, put one at the front and one at the back.

 

I have all four of my fan slots on my NZXT S340 filled up, three with Corsair SP120 fans and the last an S340 stock fan, you don't need all four filled up but it's nice on temps.

Yeah, they'll do nicely. Are you going for the stock NZXT fans and then two more Arctic F12s, I assume? Putting the Arctic fans in the front and then the NZXT fans for the back and top is a nice layout.

They're better than the stock FN V2's but might not be necessary. What are your specs?
