I've got an Utgard case with the stock fans (1x 120mm intake at the front, 1x120mm exhaust at the back and a 140mm exhaust on top) and I've been thinking about putting in extra.
I'm thinking about basically filling all the slots, so a 120mm intake underneath and two 120mms on the side (intake over the GPU slots and exhaust near the CPU). I'm starting to get confused after reading another thread over the positive/negative pressure thing too. If I do that, I'll have 3 intakes and 3 exhausts (one of which is a 140mm compared to the 3 120mm intakes), does that sound alright or should I ignore the spot next to the CPU on the side of the case, remove the 140mm fan on top and fit 2 120mm fans in it's place so that there's 3 120mm ins and 3 120mm outs?
Also, I have a ASUS P8P67 Pro mobo, Corsair TX850 PSU and the physical fan controller on the front of the case, what connectors do I need to have? Am I likely to run short of any connections as I already have the 3 fans plugged in?
Finally, what fans would you suggest? My case isn't too hot at the moment (temps around 80C on the GPU), but it could be cooler and in the future I'd like to crossfire my Powercolor 6970. The side vent would put the fan between the GPU and case, so I don't want to end up with a fat thing that doesn't fit for example.
