Hello Using NZXT Phantom fulltower, I have two 200mm top fans outake and 2 sidepanel intakes 140mm my cpu cooler fan is in the way for the other 200mm sidefan, can there be anyother way of better setup than this? I see the front bottom and have a fan for it but it seems like a bad place for a fan hence theres already two fans beside it. I was thinking of a 140mm fan on the side panel just use 1 screw and mabye twist tie the other side to help outake hot air away from gpu. Anyway i love this case but it just seems bad idea placement for the fans. Oh and i took the dust grills off for better airflow

Intake from front, side, bottom and exhaust from top and rear. You want more exhaust air flow than intake to create negative pressure to suck hot air out as quickly as possible.

My rear is the cpu cooler fan with radiator behind, should i turn that fan around? Makes more since for it to blow out thru the radiator since it doesn't seem to blow lots of cool air anyways

Is there anyways to speed up the case fans? I dont think you can since none of them are connected to my motherboard. Am i wrong?

You're right!
If your case fans are all connected to psu power they are running at maximum rpm.
