I'm still confused if:
Both 92mm fans on the CPU be PUSH/PULL out the back on the U9S
Put (1) 92mm at the back as an EXHAUST and the other as a PUSH through the heatsink
Put (1) 92mm at the back as INTAKE and the other 92mm on the heatsink as a PULL towards the front of the case
Then I have a stock cooled 1080 Mini with (2) 120mm Slims and don't know if they should be:
Pulling hot air from the GPU and EXHAUST out the bottom of the case
Pushing air as INTAKE toward the GPU (which seems it would just throw the heat right at the CPU)
Also, should an additional 120mm on the side panel near the front be EXHAUSTING hot air out or PULLING fresh air in?

Ahhh I'm hearing so many different opinions, haha! "You want to exhaust as much hot air as possible" "But in this direction and oh maybe the rear fan should be INTAKE" ?

....oh and this is your daily reminder that ASUS Suite/Tweakout whatever blows

(Apologies for crashing)
