Hi, i've been reading the forums for a bit but it's my first time posting.

I have a case with space for
2 front 140s or 120s, one open & one obstructed
1 rear & 2 top 120s

the 120s are on the edge of the case so 140s with 120 mounting won't do i think ( Corsair CC-9011050-WW Carbide Series SPEC-01 Mid-Tower ATX Gaming Case )

my card can only hold one fan ( not counting the cpu one ), so i plan on having up to 4 extra ones via the PSU

I am seeking advice on how to set up fans,

2 front 140s, 2 exhaust 120s ?
2 front 120s, 1 exhaust 120 ?
1 front 120 + 1x140, 2 exhaust 120 ?

Looking towards
anoctua f14 pwm for the main front fan
noctua nf a14 flx for the front obstructed one ( the hard drive is behind )
corsair sp120 quiet

What fan setup would you recommend, aesthetics don't matter, the fans will be running full speed on the PSU so the noise matters.

Any other fan recommendation ?

Thank you very much for your help with this ( and for all the other stuff i have read here ) :D

Thank you for the quick response :-)

However wouldn't a positive air pressure be preferable over a negative one so as to keep the dust out as much as possible ?
 
Yes, i have done some more research and it seems that a popular replacement for the preferable but discontinued Gentle Typhoons is the NB-eLoop B12-2

Would they be fine as exhaust or does this specific usage make them less suitable than something else ? ( i understand that some fans loose in efficiency or gain in noise depending on whether they are used for intake exhaust or radiator ? )

Sorry for my noob questions and thank you for taking the time to help me, i appreciate it.
