Optimal CPU cooling?

[Jack Barber]

Since i have 3 fans and want to keep a positive air pressure, i placed a fan at the bottom and at the front of the case as intakes and one as exhuast, my GPU didnt really change temps but my CPU went up quite alot (5-10 degrees!). I have two fan mounts at the top and was wondering even though you are supposed to have them as exhaust would it be wise to have a fan blowing cold air on the CPU cooler or have it in the closer mount and have it blow over the ram and it gets sucked in by the CPU Fan? Btw im using an Artic Freezer i11 CPU Cooler.

If the CPU temp is not staying down, the top fans would be best utilized as exhaust to help remove trapped warm air at the top of the case.
