Im placing 3x120mm intake fan in the front of my case. I dont know if i should put 2x140mm exaust fans on the top or 3x120mm exaust fans?
 
Solution
3x120mm should move more air. This is assuming similar RPM between the 140mm and the 120mm.

Keeping 2x140mm as exhaust would in theory help sustain a positive air pressure within your case, which is desired to minimize dust accumulation (assuming your intakes are filtered).
