shit. maybe i should've done more research. or just used more common sense. i was so excited about building the pc i didn't think about how the air would be flowing through. i have the air cooler on top sucking air in and it looks like the stock rear fan on the case is sucking air in as well. no other fans

Stock rear fans are pretty much always exhaust.
