Cooling the CPU.

Darova. Bought 2E Gaming Air Cool Tower (AC120D6-ARGB). The RSL doesn't give a damn. Initially, both ventilators stood on the internal airflow of the tower radiator. There are 2 valves in front of the case for blowing out and one at the back for blowing out. Well, I thought about it and turned 1 vent on the turret for blowing out (it is just opposite the one on the back of the hull for blowing out). Did I do everything right or leave it on the tower by default? I also bought 2 Noctua NF-A12x15 PWMs, do I want to put them on top of the case for blowing out or should they be replaced with a turret? And those on the tower on top of the hull?

while everything seems to be right in the photo, as I understand it, in the front of the case, the fan blows air into the case. the cooler pumps air through itself to the back of the case and there is general blowing out of the case. the rest of the fans are not particularly needed. if the case has a breathable upper it is most likely for its. if a fan is installed there for blowing or blowing out the core, it will not be very harmful or useful if it is not very powerful. if it has a high performance, it will create all sorts of laminar flows to the main cooler or simply provide a closed circulation of hot air between the processor and the video card somewhere in the front of the case.

The second fan to the tower as a spare, there is no sense from it, tk. there is a rear case fan.

That I did not write correctly, or rather it straightened, they are blowing.

That is, on top, if for my own, then I can not put a cooler?

You can, you need to install the top fan, because the hot stream goes up faster and is blown out of the body.

there is a little. the air flow along the fins is stronger and even at the same noise level, but the usefulness of the second fan can be 20-30%.

I have exactly the same cooler. Look carefully at the impeller!!!
The rear cooler from the box is right!!!
Two fans cannot blow air into the radiator, which is still with closed walls!
At the rear fan, the impeller is turned the other way, which allows you to install it on the blower, behind the tower, and not lose its aesthetic appearance. The stiffening ribs of the fan housing will not be visible, as in your first photo...
Also, the rear fan has different speed characteristics. And Yes, as they wrote in the comments, there is no point in the rear if there is a fan on the back of the case. Minus 1-2 degrees...or just quieter will work together.
I hope you don't have them still wrong?
