fan setup

whats up i got this idea that i could be getting better temps if i changed my fans around so i wanted to ask before i go through all the trouble. heres what i have: i got 3x12cm top back and bottom exhaust exhaust and intake. and 3x8cm fans: side case intake and front case intake, and an extra i dont know what to do with. i was wondering if there are any better setups for what i have? i'm going to cut out the case in the back by the fan so better airflow, and the same thing with the front intake.

This does work I've done it before. I'm more of the thinking, to have more air coming in than going out, reason it keeps air flowing through your PSU, I had a setup for about 2 minutes where the air flow stalled in the PSU so watch the air flow here.

so should i change the back exhaust to intake? if i did airflow would be going over the cpu and flow out through the top exhaust fan.
