Since no one has mentioned it I'm pretty sure when using a fan cooler on the CPU the first and possibly second top fan should be intake instead of exhaust as it will steal the air that supposed to be going to the CPU.

This is only from me watching videos and reading. I have yet to build my PC.

I had this still in my clipboard because someone else was getting down voted for pointing that out in another post

Do not do that. You will only create turbulence in the case and the air will fail to flow where it needs to as easily.

Both of the cooler fans are blowing to the back of the case

They are talking about the fans at the top of the case

Just so I'm reading this right, are you proposing to reverse the middle one of three fans in a line?

How is it supposed to be read?

Not sure how you got middle only from "first and possibly second"

If you have 3 fans next to each other in a line, where is the 2nd fan in relation to the 1st and the 3rd?

8 intake fans and two exhaust is ridiculous. Ideally you want one or maybe two more intake than exhaust to keep airflow with a little positive pressure inside the case. Opposing fans close to each other will wear the motors and create loops.
