    It depends on where your fan mounts are on your case but I'd put 1 at the back of your case "sucking" air out and I'd put the other at the front of your case blowing air in.Are these the only fans you have in your case?

    No such thing as a silly beginners question round these parts Jester m8, we all had to start somewhere

    But CrapshoT's right 2 fans in push/pull (provided they are equally matched) is usually the best config.

    What psu are you using? As you also have to take this in account. My psu can easily be counted as another exhaust fan because of the airflow it pushes out.

    Shogun your best not to include the PSU as the load coming off it will require that fan. Best to just include the case fans in the equation.
