Optimal Airflow

Hi, just checking if I've got this right...

I have an 80mm fan at the the top of the case drawing air in, an 80mm at the bottom drawing air out.

I also have a 120mm fan at the back of the case as the exhaust, a 120mm side fan bringing air in on the window which is positioned just below the CPU fan and a 120mm fan in the front also bringing air in.

Is this right?

Is it floating in mid-air ;-)

you want this

front - in
back - out
top - out
bottom - in should be best
side - depends on case but on mine is best as a in

remember heat rises

Ok. Done and done.

Just added another 120mm fan in the front of the case in the 5.25 drive bay bringing air in and straight across the cpu and out the exhaust at the back or top.
