Hi all,

           Quick question regarding the fans on my computer. What is the best configuration of fans for maximum airflow? Right now, I have a 200mm intake fan at the front of my case, a 120mm intake fan on the side of my case, two 120mm intake fans on the top of my case, and finally one exhaust fan at the back of my case (near the top).

I was thinking the front  and side intake fans are fine, but should I change the two top fans to exhaust fans (because heat rises and they are near the main exhaust fan in the back)?

My case is the Cooler Master HAF 912 Mis Tower ATX Case - below is a link to it

Any help is much appreciated.

P.S. I googled the crap out of this and found contradictory answers. Also, if you need more info about my setup let me know.
