i have a 92mm panaflo L1A fan as the exhaust.. now i want to make my comp cooler.. with my comp case it allows me to put 2 80mm fans in the fronas intakes... should i put 2 intake fans infront and will it make my comp cooler?.. or is it useless.. n e help or suggfestions would be appreciated
 
2 intake fans will help airflow, but it probably won't be directed at the parts that need it most, i.e. the RAM, Northbridge and CPU. You could try a ducting or routing modification that redirects the air in your case, try putting a curved piece of cardboard under the intake fans (to direct the air upwards) once you have them installed and compare the differences in temperatures.
 
Putting 2 intake fans in front should definitely help cool your case down. Having 2 intake fans and one 92 mm with the PSU fan (If you have a dual exhaust one) should help immensely. Make sure that you don't have too many cables blocking the airflow. Reroute them if you think that they are blocking. It does make a big difference.
