Hey I recently bought a 120mm fan to go under my psu ( back of case) and I bought 2 other 80mm fans for the lower front of my case

I was reading that their can be a short air circuit if not positioned correctly

I know to have the 120mm fan sucking out..while the 2 fans across from it are blowing in towards the 120mm

but I also have a window side fan..and a fan at the top of the case,

just wondering if the top and window fan should be sucking out? or blowing in.

Regards,

Side fans usually blow in.

Top fans usually blow up.

Honestly though, you should only install the fans you actually need to keep your computer cool...you don't have to fill every fan port with a fan. On all my computers I only have 1 exhaust fan on the back and don't really have any heat related problems.
