Fan placement suggestions!

[Lawrence Lim]

Hello!

I'm using the NZXT 450, with the 3x 120mm front and 1x140mm rear. Recently I bought 2 new Corsair AF140s for the top. My setup is as follows:

3 x 120mm front = intake w dust filter
1 x 140mm rear = intake
2 x 140mm top = exhaust

so air is moving sort of like this?

would I be better off putting the rear fan as an exhaust instead?

The typical set up is:

Front - intake
Bottom - intake
Rear - exhaust
Top - exhaust

You should use dust filters for the intake fans whenever possible.

alright, I've replaced the rear as an exhaust! sadly I do not have any space for bottom fans. Thank you for the information.

No probs.
