I was just curious what the best set up is for Maximum Cooling using Fans. I think I have it set up correctly. My PSU has two fans in it, one that blows air out, and a giant one on the bottom that blows air into my computer. I have 3 Extra Fans (One on the Side, One on Top and one in back) The one in back blows air out, and the side and top fans blow air in. Is this the way I should have it? Or should I Have two fans blowing out out? All fans blowing in? I think I have it set up correctly but I just wanted to get some feedback. Thanks.
 
The fan on top blows just past by PSU, into my RAM. Not intentionally, but thats just where its placed. I guess it makes sense to have the top one blow out since heat rises. Should i fix it then so the back one blows in?
 
You must be mistaken about your power supply. One fan has should be taking air in and the other pushing it out of your power supply.
 
Is there any room in the front for a fan? The best option is the front and side fans blowing in and the top and back fans blowing out. Even an additional sidefan would work.
 
Unfortunately there is no room in the front for a fan. I am currently in the market for a new case. Ive had this one for about 3 years, so I think im about due. As for the PSU fans, Perhaps I am mistaking. The one on the bottom of the PSU pointing into my computer is HUGE, so I just assumed it was blowing out and not taking air in. Makes more sense that it's taking in though which is good since its at the top of my case.
 
The big fan on the what you call the bottom of the power supply is a intake fan. It pulls air into the power supply and out the back of the supply.

In general. All fans in the bottom half of the case should be intake. All fans in the top half should be exhaust fans. This can vary alittle on a side fan.
