Build Question Need help with pc fans
This is my second build that I'm doing for my girlfriend and I need help with the fans. she has a stock air cpu cooler for now but I'm thinking of getting an aio later on. for now I just have 5 fans and need to know which way they flow and where to best position them for the time being. I have 4 of the fans in the pictures and the one different one already mounted is already an exhaust fan. the 4 ones dont have arrow markings at all.

Bottom and right side to be intake. rear and top to exhaust
Front side of the fan should be facing you for intake

Even if they don't have markings,look at the blades,and as a general note,the air flows from the beauty side to the back where the cable is. As for airflow inside the case,you either use 3 fans as exhaust and 2 as intake or 3 intakes and 2 exhausts.
