Zalman zm-t3 case fans placement

[Mikerame]

Hello, I'd like to ask for some hel about placing system fans in my zalman zm-t3 case. It has one 92mm rear fan, 1 slot for a 120 mm at the front, and 2 slots for 120 mm at the side. If i put intake (cooler master sickleflow or arctic f12 pwm) to the front, and 1 intake to the side, won't the single 92mm exhaust fan be too weak to take the air out? Should i place a single intake to the front without the side one?

If you want some more fresh air in try a fan at the front first.See if it helps. A case is only so airtight (really not at all) so more fans pushing air in makes (positive pressure) makes the air find a way out regardless of what the 92mm can handle,there's also the open space left at the side panel where air can escape for instance.
If the cpu get's too hot could you add a fan to the side panel blowing in on top of it or just get a better cpu cooler.With the 92mm fan at the back do i suspect that the case isn't that wide so something smaller like a Cooler master Hyper tx3 or Cryorig m9,maybe the Zalman CNPS8900 Quiet.

Yes, i wanted cm hyper 212 evo but it seems it doesnt fit in. I was thinking about either cm hyper 103 or tx3. But first i would like to check the temps with case fans only. Maybe i can avoid spending money on cpu cooler. The cpu is athlon x4 860 though, and its famous about getting hot.

If it's about the cpu could you add another fan to the side panel as well blowing onto the cpu cooler,use the upper fan port.Makes sense.

okay, I was just afraid that because of the too much intake i thought the hot air my get stuck with only one 92mm out. I'll try it, thanks for the help.

Other though,with spending money on two ans are you getting close to getting one cpui cooler.Just something to ponder about.

well yeah, the price of two good fans is the half price of a tx3 or 103. I don't plan to overclock, but i'm afraid of the temparature of the cpu, as i heard its pretty bad with stock cooler.

If it's just precaution could you first keep an eye on the temps with AMD Overdrive.
