I have yet another question about the build I'm working on. Hopefully the last one. I just had a hell of a difficult time getting the CPU cable installed due to how my case is built, and I had to remove the rear-most top fan.

I was unable to fit the fan back in, so now I ask: What should I do with the other top fan? It is currently set to exhaust, as you can see, but I don't know if I want exhaust so near the front of the case. Note: I have a front mounted radiator with two intake fans. So here are my options.

  1. Keep it as exhaust where it is.
  2. Keep it where it is, but flip it to be intake.
  3. Remove it. I'd have two front intake on the radiator and one rear exhaust.

What do you think I should do?
 
Solution
Number 1.
What with most aftermarket gpu designs dumping their waste heat inside the chassis - it would benefit that by helping to get the heat from that out faster.
