Hows would this 2 extra fan setup be?

I have a cheaper regular size tower.

How would it be if I took a 80mm case fan and mounted it on the side of the case in front of the cpu and put a pipe or something directing all the air to the processor. I would still have the stock cpu fan. Then put a 80mm exhaust on the back of the case where the stock mount is.

Also how do you all think of the CoolerMaster 80mm led fans? I have never used any, but their suppose to be quiet and having a pretty good cfm. With a pretty cheap price tag.

That's called ducting. It works fine. The coolermaster fans are OK, but if you are going to duct I would look at using a 120mm on the side of the case.

It's a good idea and works well with or without the pipe.
