ive just got the thermaltake matrix, on the left side panel there is room to put a 80mm fan. but im not sure if i should make it intake or exhaust, it is right next to the gfx slots.
in the case ive currently got a 120mm exhaust fan, came with the case, and i out a 120mm intake fan at the front. so should i make it intake or exhaust?

thermal paste, i need some, but i dont know what one to get.

and finally cable sleeving, what size should i go for if i want to cover the psu cables? the ones with the molex connectors at the ends.

thanks

get hold of arctic silver 5 for the thermal paste

as for the fan i would suggest making it an exhaust, personally i usally just go for the one intake fan to ensure that there is airflow through the system, the rest i have to remove the hot air as quickly as possible.
