    As long as you have the connectors for the fans, the more the merrier. I personally would suggest an exhaust fan that sucks hot air away from the CPU to the outside of the case. My CPU runs at 65C, which is high, but I am overclocking 400 MHz over the rated speed so that happens. Below 55C is considered reasonable.

    Well most likely you would have the exhaust fan attached to the back side of the case (on the inside). The connectors come off the powersupply inside the computer. Look for the white connectors with red, yellow and black wires. The connector should be about an inch wide.
