[SOLVED] Should i put 120mm cooling fans at rear or top?

[amit.rudy]

My CPU cabinet is not tiny, it has good space(Corsair Carbide Series CC-9011050-WW ). It came with an LED fan at front but i want to install two more cooling fans. so should i fix them at top or the rear of CPU cabinet? There's a space for two at top, two at front and one at rear. Should i go with one at top and one at rear? both at top? or two at front and one at rear?I can feel heat coming out of top after playing for few hours. P.S i dont overclock my CPU.

"Corsair Carbide Series CC-9011050-WW"... Sorry i was wrong, i can install only one fan at the rear.

Corsair Carbide Spec 01 fan support:
Rear: 1x 120mm
Top: 2x 120mm
Front: 2x 120, or 2x 140mm. A single 120mm is preinstalled.

One more thing: what's your cpu cooler?

should i fill every fan mount location? lolz. i was asking in the case in which i can only buy one fan or maybe two. My CPU cooler is the same that i got with my i5-7600 processor. i dont overclock so i guess its sufficient.

2 fans front intake, 1 top exhaust.
Or you could do 1 fan front intake, 2 fan top exhaust.

2x 140mm front intake.
1x 120mm fan rear exhaust.
