Reply: (edit)Place one 120mm fan on the rear as close to the cpu as allowed(since you have two locations) and place an 80mm fan on the front. You should always make sure your exhaust fan can draw out more air than your intake fan can to create a negative pressure inside the case. But don't overkill by putting two 120s in the rear with only one 80 in the front. ASUS P5GD1 P4 3.4 Socket775 ABIT RX600-SE V-Guru 1G Corsair PC400
