Hey guys

I want to know the best way to but case fans in my own te avelable slots are
1- 120mm back fan
2- 120mm front fan
3- 80mm side fan
4- 120mm tor fan

I'm wsing it this way

back fan to get raid of hot air
front fan to blow cold air into the case
side fan blow cold air into case
top fan to get raid of hot air

and I'm going to buy ASUS SILENT SQUARE EVO should I use AS5 or use ASUS thermal paste
 
Chevro1et has it right, as do you CROSS.

As far as that cooler. I have no idea how it performs, but for half the cost, the Xigmatek s1283 would likely be as good or if anything 1-3C off for HALF the price.


EDIT: I looked up a review...here is a quote from it:
The Asus Silent Square EVO retails for about $65 through sites like Newegg.com; a bit expensive for the performance it delivers, as you'll shortly see.
Dont buy that monstrosity.
