Hey I was reformating my sis's computer and decided to check the temps and her comp is runing pretty hot. She asked can she add fans like mine has. So I said sure. Any suggestions on what is a good way to make them flow. For example - 1 in the fron flowing backward 1 on side onto cpu and 1 on back sucking the air out?
 
Traditionally there are fans at the front and they suck air in and there are fans at the back blowing air out. More recently, theres been addition of side fans ... you can run those either as intake or exhaust depending on the ambient room temp :)
 
I think what Praetor mean is, if you have a low ambient room temp its better to have more intake to cool your system and vise versa.

Quite correct, i.e., winter = intake, summer = exhaust :)
 
Well I live in louisiana, USA and even now in mid novemver im wearing short sleeve shirts etc so it stays warm all the time and 100% humidity. How does 1 on front coming in and on side case near front have one coming in. Exhaust wise one on side near back going out and the one on the back going out?

Try it out! :) Run it like that for a few days and then switch around
