My case (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811822014) came with four 120mm fans...
Front intake
Back exhaust
Two top exhaust
I decided to get two 120mm side fans, but my results were discouraging no matter what setup I used...
Both intake - temp increased by 5 degrees over no side fans
Both exhaust - temp increased by 5 degrees over no side fans
Top exhaust, bottom intake - temp increased by 3 degrees over no side fans
Bottom intake, top unplugged - no change in temp over no side fans
so I guess my question is... with 2 top fans, 2 side fans, a front fan, and a back fan what is the optimal setup? all fans are molex
