All of my computer components just arrived at my door from OCUK. After putting everything together and assembling the machine, I was wondering on how I should manage the airflow on the case.
Here's my build:
Case: CM 690 II advanced Nvidia edition
MOBO: MSI Z77A-G45 Intel Z77
Processor: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz
CPU cooler: Noctua NH-D14 Dual Radiator CPU Cooler
8gb ram
GPU: Palit gtx 560 ti
1 TB harddrive
some optical drive that idk the name of lol.
Front Cooling: 140 x 25 mm Green LED fan x 1 / 1200 RPM / 19 dBA (Included with case)
Rear Cooling: 120 mm fan x 1 / 1200 RPM / 17 dBA (Included with case)
Top Cooling: 140 x 25 mm fan x 1 / 1200 RPM / 19 dBA (supports 120 / 140 mm fan x 2)
Bottom Cooling: 120 mm fan x 2 (optional)
HDD cage Cooling: 120 mm fan x 1 (optional)
VGA holder Cooling: 80 x 15 mm fan x 1 (optional)
I have like 8 spare 120mm fans. Any help will be appreciated, and will surely help me out :)
 
Fill it with as many fans as possible, avoiding more input than output. (Tip: The fans blow towards the frame part of the fan)

Looking at the specs I'd recommend the two at the bottom/front blowing in and the rear/top out (Heat rises)
 
This is my set my fan setup with your case. I think the 80 mm fan at the rear of the CPU can reduce temps significantly.
