Currently, I have a big 140mm fan blowing air in through the front of my PC, the Silent Wings 4 140MM 1900 rpm one. I also in the back of my case have 2 1000 rpm fans, one at the back, and one in the top closer to the back. My question is, would I be better off to just ditch those 2 fans n get 1 nice fan, like the 120mm 2500 RPM Silent Wings for example? The top fan does have a bit of a blocking kind of cover you could say. I feel some coming out, but it's not as much as you feel coming out of the other 1000 rpm which has only a cage behind it. 2500 with that cage behind it, seems like it could be nice, but if it's a waste then I'd just leave it

What is your case? Most cases work best with a positive pressure setup. Typically 2-3 intake and 1-2 exhaust. Are you having high temps? If not then it is all preference.
 
It's a Deepcool Dukase V2. I've been thinking of instead just getting 3 120MM fans instead, n having 2 intake, 2 exhaust (1 exhaust is the top back, so I figure it should be about even pressure, if not a bit more for intake). I had 1 other question, is it possible for me to plug a PWN fan that has no side 4 big pin connector into that kind of port? I don't know what it's called, but it looks like this 8" 4-pin Molex Male (LP4) to 4-pin Floppy FDD Female (SP4) Power Adapter Cable | eBay (left side image) Maybe I can get a connector like that which has 4 pin, to male mini 4 pin? I have 1 fan hooked up like this already, but I'm not sure if it'll work. On my computer there are these kind of plugs CRJ Mini 2-Pin Female PC Fan Adapter Cable 2-Pack : Amazon.ca: Electronics (right side image) I can't have more than 3 fans in my current setup, and only 2 fan ports on my motherboard other than the CPU fan to the best of my knowledge. There are 3 of those additional ports though, so that means all troubles would be solved, but no fans have that side connection

I think this is what I'm looking for 4-pin Fan to 4-pin Molex Adapter Cable - Sleeved Jet Black - DazMode except with the female instead of male molex. I haven't seen one anywhere after some searching though.
You can just buy fan splitter cables and slit each header to 2 or 3 fans
