I'm building my first PC, and I was planning on having 3 intakes on the front, the top 2 potentially being my AIO CPU fans, however the front of my case has mesh on the bottom half which allows for the bottom 2 fans to draw air in, but the top fan would be covered by solid plastic.

Would this make the top fan redundant in terms of being able to intake cold air and help cooling or would it still help?

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance!

key is to having good airflow away from components so with this being said there is no need for loads of fancy fans, number one that everyone forgets is exhaust,

now imo depending on case two bottom of rig sucking cool air up from bottom and exhaust above on top pulling cool air over the cpu and gpu, and moving hot air out and away from components
