I was wondering if anyone reading this post could provide me advice and explain to me if my case airflow is optimal? I have a Fractal Design R5 case, and I'm purchasing Arctic SP P14 140mm fans. To be honest I don't know that much about airflow vs static pressure. But from reading a little via google static pressure fans would go well in my case due to hard drive bays and dust filters? Below I put together a plan in terms of replacing the current stock fans in the case. Correct me if i'm making a mistake.
Front: 2x SP 140mm intake
Bottom: 2x SP 140mm intake
Top: Water Cooler, 2x exhaust
Rear: 1x AF 140mm or 1x SP 140mm
