Hello all! This question may have been asked many times, but I don't think I've been able to get a good answer for me. But anyway, I want to know the best setup for fans for my setup. For obvious reasons, I want to keep temperatures as low as possible. But I don't think its working. Need help! Anyway, I have a Rosewill Challenger. So I have 120mm Front intake fan, a 140mm top exhaust fan, and a rear exhaust 120mm fan. To give more information on the interaction of the components inside, I have a HIS Radeon 7770 Ghz iCooler graphics card, an AMD FX 6300 with STOCK cooler heatsink and fan (yes, i know, I suck). I have two 120mm fans specifically for the side vents. I want to know from any of you guys if you have any suggestions for keeping ALL temperatures down. I should note that a this moment, I cannot buy anything because I spent my earned allowance on a new hard drive after my other hard drive crashed. But hoping you guys are willing to share suggestions. Thanks everyone!
 
Your ideal solution would involve smashing the case with a sledgehammer and buying something decent , but if that is not an option then

in at the front and bottom , out at the top and back . Side fans usually just disrupt the air flow through the case so unless you have a pair of hot graphics cards that need the extra breeze its best to leave them out
 






So essentially, is this how I should set my fans up? http://imgur.com/T5ycasM
I apologize for the quality.

I would set them up how it shows in that link i sent you. You're going to want both of those available side vents to be intake. This will allow some cool air to cool your graphics card (which puts off a ton of heat) keeping the gpu cooler = all components cooler (less overall case temp!
