I'm going to buy extra fans for my PC build but I don't really know how and where I need to connect them. I also want to know how I should place them in order to achieve the best cooling possible with these fans.
I will be gaming with this PC, just to add that in.
I'll be buying two fans and placing them into this case: http://www.computermods.co.uk/img/desktop-computer-pc-case-galaxy-3-mid-tower-black-450w-psu-bubble-light-windows-led_43217_500.jpg
It comes with a fan already but I've been told it's not a good one, so I'll be replacing it with a different LED fan that's much better (THE FAN IS PLACED ON THE SIDE PANEL YOU SEE IN THE IMAGE) My problem is that I don't know if I should blow air OUT through there or IN through there.
How should I arrange that?
I will also be attaching another 120mm fan on the back of the PC and I'm pretty sure that I'm meant to blow air OUT through there.
Problem: Where and how do I connect the fan?
Do you need the motherboard to be specific or something?
I'll be using this motherboard: AsRock FM2A75 PRO4
Your help would be greatly appreciated as I'm fairly ignorant as to what to do with fans.
Recap on questions -->
1. Side panel fan, should it blow air out or in?
2. Where and how do I connect BOTH fans to the PC?
3. Is the motherboard of any relevance to the fans?
(Additional info on build (Yes, it is a budget build))
CPU: AMD APU A8-6600k
Motherboard: AsRock FM2A75 PRO4
Ram: Corsair XMS3 4GB (will upgrade)
HDD: Western Digital 1TB (will add an SSD)
Extra fans ->
1. Arctic F12 PWM 4 Pin 120mm (Will place at back of case)
2. Akasa 80mm Blue LED fan (Will place on side panel
