Fan configuration

[mataeous12]

Hi all,

Just doing a few minor PC upgrades, and was wondering what the best set-up for fans in my case would be (such as where the fans should be, inflow/outflow etc)

My case is a Cooler Master HAF X V2 Full Tower Gaming Case, if that's any help to anyone?

Currently I have the stock 200mm fan in the front of the case, and a liquid cooling system for my CPU on the back (120mm fans).

Any suggestions? There is a perfect place for a 140 fan on the top of the case, but I'm unsure as to whether this should be drawing air out or pushing in? (Sorry very new to setting up custom cooling).

Many thanks

As a rough guide, the front and bottom for intake, the rear and top for exhaust.

I'd say with a 200m fan on the intake and only a 120mm fan going through a radiator for the exhaust, you'd want to have the new 140mm fan at the top also exhaust to balance things out.
