It probably doesn't make much difference, but if you really want to get the air flowing though your case efficiently get a second fan and mount it in the front bottom of your case (most modern towers have provision for a second fan in this area). Have this fan so that it sucks the air out of the case this way air will be forced to flow rapidly in from the primary fan across your motherboard and out through the secondary fan at the other end.

you have to do this recipe in order to get go ventilation into your system.

for every fan that sucks air in put 2 that will suck air out, 2 to 1 ratio.

also, at the bottom of the case put fans that draw air in, and at the top, back or side, put some that draw air out.

this is just a general idea, maybe someone out there has better advice or tips.

keep looking around alot of amd ppl and oc'ers are very knowlegdeable in terms of heat related issues and in cooling their homebuilt systems.
