So I just bought a new case and it should be here Tuesday. The case already comes with a 120mm front intake fan and a rear 120mm exhaust fan. the case allows me to put up to 4 80mm fans on the side and I just purchased 2 80mm cause I wasn't planning on getting the money for the new case but I did so yeah. now I'm gonna have 2 brand new 80mm fans to throw into the case. my question is should I have them both as intake or both as exhaust or should I do one intake and one exhaust? thank you in advance

I have one 120MM side fan in front of CPU Cooler & Guess what? My temp is now down 7 to 10 degree C Cause of this fan only.I fitted this fan lately.Before my CPU temp goes up to 45-50 C when I play games like GTA IV.Now it stays 30-40 C Range.I believe side fans put more air flow on every component inside specially the component in front the FAN & Side fans also Pulls Hot Air outside at the same time.

I know that but if they are on the side of the case should they be sucking in air or pulling out air for the best airflow.
