isnt the silverstone fan a lil redundant? u suck in air from the smaller fans and the air will go straight to the silverstone fan...whats the point?

err...actually i did something like a ducting system for that part....i dont want the PSU or the rear fans to suck in cool air from the side, instead i want it to suck out all the hot air exhausting from the heatsink itself...
i put 3x 60mm NMB fans there to force 45cfm of cool air into that area itself and i've covered up the side panel holes allowing the air to be drawn into the casing throught the 3 fans.....the 3 fans also helps to cool down the ram area
the cool air is then drawn into the heatsink fan(silverstone white fan) blowing thru the fins and the warm air will exit through the rear 2x 40mm fans or sucked into the PSU....
the rear 40mm fan is really a high pressure type of server fan, if i dont do so then the cool air will exit through the rear without going through the heatsink
the silverstone fan is still needed because the heatsink has got small fins and definitely cannot go passive
actually are you referring that the 60mm NMB (black label) or the silverstone (white fan) ? is redundant ?
