2 intake + 1 exhaust = ???

[jspeicher]

I'm planning on adding two intakes onto the side of an older gateway that runs really warm. I only have one place to put an exhaust and that is on the back (only room for one fan back there).

I know its good to have more exhaust vs intake. But if I run my two intakes at low RPM and my one lone exhaust at high RPM, will this even things out?

You could probably make the back an intake and the sides exhaust instead.

Keep in mind the psu fan exhausts air as well.

Yup, your PSU is also an exhaust fan. I wouldn't sweat the pressure differences. It's nice to have them balanced, but it's not the end of the world. I have 2 intake on the side panel of my Inwin Q500 and one exhaust in the PSU (all Panaflo L1a) The system is cool as a cucumber in february.
