I have a steel tower case pre-fitted with 3x120mm intake fans in the front and 1x140mm exhaust fans in the rear.
Along the top of the chassis is an expansion slot area for more fans. I have 2x120mm spare fans (they have pretty decent static pressure) and I think I might have been experiencing an issue of heat buildup inside the chassis so I'm wondering in terms of airflow would it be better to setup these fans as intake or exhaust along the top?
Having five intake fans and one exhaust seems a bit imbalanced, but if it helps with airflow I'm willing to try it.
So I ask you, if you were me how would you implement the fans?
