Help on installing PC fans.

Hello,

My HP Omen only has 2 pre-installed fans (that I can see from the glass side panel). One on the back for exhaust and one on the cpu. Overall cooling system seems pretty bad. My cpu temps vary from ok to hot so I want to install another fan. However I don’t see any vents at all on the front. There is room on the top and bottom though. Should I install 1 intake on the bottom and 1 exhaust on the top for a total of 2 exhaust. What's better negative or positive cfm pressure? Also, I don't see a connection on the motherboard for additional fans.

Thanks.
