I'm building a dual athlon system and have installed extra fans.
2 80mm (1 front intake, 1 rear exhaust)
2 92mm (1 top exhaust, 1 side intake)

my question is about the side mounted one, should it be intake?
any other advice on cooling this rig would be appreciated.

Should be an intake, otherwise you "steal" the air of the cpu fans.

In general the intake shouldn't be much less than the exhaust because a low air-pressure inside the case isn't good for the cooling efficiency. Better have a higher pressure inside.
