WEll what i havent learnt from these forums is that if i replace all my fans in my case lets say my case was a cool master haf 932, which fans will be my exhaust fans and my intake fans, so if i replaced the big side panel fan with 4 120 blue led fans will they be out-take or intake fans, same with the fan uptop lets say i fitted 2 120 blue led fans will they be intake or exhaust and how do i know they are intake or exhaust thanks for your time reading this comment!

In general it tends to be front and bottom of the case have intake fans, top and rear are exhaust fans.
As for side fans, I would personally have them as intakes as well, blowing cold air over the graphics cards. If you replace the large fan with 4 smaller ones its probably going to be a bit noiser if you keep it at the same air flow rate, larger fans tend to be quieter as they dont need to spin as fast

They blow air one way, turn them whichever way round you wish. They have an arrow drawn on them.
Id block the side vents instead of mounting fans there, as airflow moving a cross purposes doesn't often work as well as clean front to back/top airflow does.
