i just got a Sunon 120mm (90cfm), and a Sunon 92mm(44cfm), and i have a couple old 80mm(20-30cfm) and here is my idea, please tell me if this is good, i have one 80mm bringin air through the front, then 1 80mm, and 1 92mm taking air through the side(onto pci ad video) and then one 120 mm on top exhausting lots of air, should they balance out?F:\my documents\fan idea.bmp

Well, seems to be the right way, the air that the fans sucks, is the same of the air that blows out, right man ;-)
At the end of the work, to check that all is right, put a piece of paper sheet near your case, if sucked the exhaust is stronger, and if blowed the intake is stronger :-) it's simple but works fine!
Note: the 120mm must blow out the hot air, to compensate the in airflow.

From me, not, it's all i did it on my YeongYang YY1240 full tower case, but with the intake of 2x92mm (49Cfm) & 1x80mm (44Cfm), and for the exhaust 1x80 (44Cfm) & 1x120 (90Cfm) all Sunon's, for a resulting temps max of 2 degree C over ambient.
