Can any suggest air flow design for the NZXT Gamma chassis?

[rumbleMonkey]

Hello, I just built my first pc last week and I've decided I want to improve the temperature of my system, which is why I'm asking for anyone to help me decide how to set up fans in my case. I need to know what sizes I should put, the CFM's, and where to mount them. I'll buy any amount of fans if needed, I just want to maximize the amount of cooling I can get from just fans.

There's a max amount of 2 at the top, 2 at the back (including PSU exhaust), 1 in the bottom (PSU fan intake), 1 at the lower front face, and 2 on the side panel.

I will appreciate any help, and look forward to any recommendations!!!

Normaly front/side is intake and top/rear is exhaust... Pick up a few 120mm fans (specs wise is up to you, getting a high CFM fan is good, so long as you can put up with the noise).

Oh and welcome to TechIMO.

+1 on Aaron's suggestions.

I usually setup things that exact same way. Its ok to do a little trial and error run on things though and check your temps with several different configurations.

alright I'll try it out then, probably going to mount one at the front, and one on the top. will that get me a negative pressure system or positive? im kind of confused about all this air flow dynamics!

Dpends on the fans really.... Though as you will have two exhaust and one intake it will probably be negative.
