So if I get the rest of my pc parts satruday, I plan on building it.
Heres what I got Asus rog strix b550 -e MOBO Ryzen 7 3700x Corsair single 120 mm fan liquid cooler EVGA RTX 2080 Super 2m2 ssd 2 ssds 32 gb 8x4 memory corsiar 465x case. I plan on keeping the front 3 fans for the intake. I will be having the liquid cooler in the rear of the tank. Would adding 1 or 2 fans on the top mess up the air flow across the mother board? I would like to add atleast 1 towards the top rear part of the case. What do you guys think? |

| I would recommend equal pressure in the case or positive pressure. So either configure it with more intake fans than exhaust, or an equal amount of both. Do not have more exhaust than intakes because it will suck in too much dust through seams and such because the fans are starving for air. |

So would it be better to run 3 in front and use the liquid cooler as the exhaust? |

3 front will require your 120 AIO to be the rear exhaust, I would add 2 top exhaust fans as well. Try match RPM in Bios settings.
Or three front being lower rpm so the 120mm can run a little higher |
