PSU and case fans installation

[JohannSmit88]

Good day,

1. Ok so I have a NZXT Phantom 530 case with 1x200mm intake fan infront, 1x120mm exhaust fan in the back and 1 at the top...My PSU is facing downwards(Bottom) - intake at the bottom and exhaust at the back......Just to mention I have a fan installed next to the hard drive tray blowing air on my GPU on that extra movable thing that the case have....

I bought 3 new corsair 120mm fans and would like to know where to put them....Since I have a 200mm intake fan I thought it would be best to put 1 intake at the bottom and the other 2 at the top??

Then I will have 2 intake fans: 1x200m front,1x120mm bottom
And 4 exhaust fans: 3 top and one in the back top corner

If this is not necessary please say so....I'm doing it for a cooler temperature in my PC

2. I am getting a new PSU soon so is it better for the fan(LED) to face upwards or downwards
in this particular case with all the fans installed..

If someone has a better way to position these fans and PSU for OPTIMAL COOLING please let me know..

Thanks

1. More fans are only needed if the current situation is too warm. Is it?
In the front/bottom, out the top/back.

2. New PSU. Bottom mount PSU, fan facing down. You want the PSU to do its own cooling thing.

Ok cool thanks for the reply...Well I have a MSI Gaming 5 MB and they have those temp reading in the small LCD indiactor on the motherboard itself, don't know if they show the CPU temp or what....When I'm gaming (GTAV) the max that is goes is around 60-65....Never goes above that...But sometimes after playing a while it looks like the grass ingame are starting to get stripes ect....in other word it looks like the GPU are taking a beating

What is a optimal temp when playing, I don't overclock!! If that LCD on the mb does no show the cpu temp then where can I see my PC's temperatures when gaming?
