I have an intake, and an exhaust.

Intake at the front, exhaust at the back.

My question is would it be beneficial to put an 80mm in the side and if so as exhaust or intake.

The 80mm sits directly above my Arctic Cooling.

My worries is if its exhaust and taking heat off the CPU then it may also effect the air flowing into the CPU fan.

The CPU fan has to take air in from the bottom, if the fan above it is exhausting that air then the CPU cooler may struggle to intake air?

Thought it best to ask :)

(oh and before anyone says - yes I have sorted those messy wires out :P)
 
Hi and welcome to the forums.

Can you turn the cpu cooler so it is blowing towards the rear fan?

Adding a side fan may make it worse as it could disrupt the airflow in your case.
