Plan on getting an extra 200mm fan for my cooler master haf 922 case, and its ganna be going on the side panel. So I was wondering which would be better, intake or exhaust? I was thinking intake, but not 100% sure.

Thanks for any input.

I'd agree on getting an intake as well. You should post a picture of your choices

I'll prolly end up doing that at some point, waiting for all the parts to arrive and such.

Depends on your GPU and CPU cooling setup. If your GPU has a non-reference cooler, than chances are it's blowing hot air around your case meaning you should set the 200mm as exhaust. If your GPU cooler is reference (nvidia/amd stock), then it takes care of itself in depositing hot air out the back of the case. If you're on the stock CPU cooler, also set the 200mm as exhaust, but with an aftermarket cooler you've probably got it pushing air out of the rear exhaust.
