Aerocool Aero 500 Fan setup.

As the title says, ive got the Aerocool Aero 500 case (Epic case for its price though, 100/10 would recommend) and all that remains is the fan setup so that my components dont burst into flames.
The case itself has 5 pc fan slots, but sadly, since it was my first time building a pc, i got a motherboard that only has 3 chassis fan headers. So, in order to balance my mistake, i wanted to get a 140mm fan and a 120mm fan (a 120mm fan is pre-installed in the back). I was planning on placing the 140 in the front, and the 1 more 120 on the top.
To sum up, 140mm intake, 2x120mm exhaust.
The thing im worried about is this: Does the Aerocool Aero 500 actually have space for a 140mm fan on the front? If not, what is the ideal fan setup with 3 fans?

Front : 2 x 120mm Fans (Optional) Buy 1 - 120mm case fan for here = intake


Rear : 1 x 120mm Fan (1 x 120mm Included) = exhaust

Top : 2 x 120mm Fans (Optional) Buy 1 - 120mm case fan for here = exhaust

It mounts 120mm. fans.

So, my only choice is to install all 120mm and have negative air in the case?
I also thought of installing 2x120mm in the front, 1x120mm in the back, and use my cpu cooler as a "top exhaust". Not sure how that would turn our though.

I have always gone 2 fronts if available and 1 - top and 1 - rear , but one of each should be fine in that case.

I always have coolers setup helping rear exhaust.

Well the prob is that i only have 3 fan headers on my mobo. But i guess 2 front, 1 back, cpu cooler top would suffic

Won't hurt that way , but running the first setup I listed should work well too.

Your choice , you can also use a fan splitter to run 2 fans off one header.

Well now, ive never heard of fan splitting. But god, i feel stupid now. I didnt calculate my PSU in the count. But i guess ill go with your setup.
Thanks for the support!
