Hello forums!
So, I recently bought a nzxt 210 elite for a build I was doing. After powering it on I realized that the preinstalled fan on the top was a intake and the rear an outake. Should I move the top preinstalled fan or should I just leave it? I want optimal airflow for over clocking a g3258 and I don't want to mess up (first time)

Advise is very much appreciated, thanks!

NOTE: Please forgive me if I posted in wrong section, i'm new ;D

Ya gotta stop and think that the guys who built ya case have a little bit of an idea of what they were doing and have in all likelyhood tested each configurations.

Yes, we all learned that hot air rises in grammar school, but when a fan is present, air does what the fan says regardless of air density.

In the original as supplied configuration the rear fan is gotta be out..... since there's no other fan, the top fan must be an intake. And with the top being a larger fan, your grilles won't suck in dust.

Now if you were two ad additional fans in the available locations:

2 x 120mm front fan
1 x 120mm bottom fan

Make those all intakes and change the top to exhaust
