I've had my build for just over two months and noticed that the bottom and top fans are facing opposite directions, which seems off. I'm aiming to have the bottom fans bringing in cold air, the top fans pushing hot air out, rear fans pulling in cold air, and the AIO fans expelling hot air. Can anyone help me confirm if this setup is correct? Here's an image of my current setup: https://freeimage.host/i/fBf31WJ

It looks like your bottom and side fans might be set up backward. They should ideally pull air in, while the top ones should blow air out. You want positive pressure for good airflow, which means more intake fans than exhaust. Double-check the user manual for your specific case—it usually has a diagram for the best fan layout.
Great build! But I noticed it seems like all your fans are set to exhaust mode. You should switch the configuration based on the manual; it typically has recommended layouts for optimal airflow, especially if you're running 11 fans. Check page 23 and 24 of the manual!
So, do I need to flip the fans on the top and the AIO to make it work right?
