I've got a dark star DY470 case with a total of 10 fans, including 3 attached to a 360mm radiator on the top. Right now, all the fans are set to intake, except for a single exhaust fan at the back. I didn't give much thought to the fan orientation while assembling it, but I'm considering swapping some fans out for reverse ones. What's the ideal way to arrange these fans? I was thinking of changing the bottom 3 to exhaust. Any suggestions?

You should flip the radiator to exhaust mode, and it’ll work great! This way, it will pull the hot air out effectively and keep your components cooler.
I’ve always thought about this too. I was hesitant to use the top as an exhaust since I figured the hot air would just flow through the radiator, raising CPU temps. Am I missing something here?
