Corsair 800D mounting 3rd fan on the top

[someonewhy]

Hello

I have h100i and i want to make push/pull using SP120 Performance edition fans my question is about the third slot on the top after i am done with my push/pull setup can i mount the third 120mm fan on the top without problems?because i want to use that slot for more air flow and make the case more sexier.....

thanks

just a day or two ago I posted similar question but I have a different problem. screwholes on 3rd slot are covered by radiator so.. see

anyway it was psot on cooling buyt here it is again:

 

I just replaced stock fans with my h100i with couple of noctua nf-f12. I have them pulling air in and it works like a charm. But my plan was to add 3rd noctua on last 3rd position on top of 800d case to provide a bit more cooled air in case for GPUs (2x ati 7970) but h100i radiator is covering holes for puting 3rd fan in there. check images.

Any ideas how to come around of this if possible at all?

I also ordered 3 magnetic dust filters to put on top of case as well to reduce dust coming in from intake.

 

And finally, would adding 1 more 120mm fan in lower drive bay slot help pulling in more air from bottom or? As it is pointed from case side panel to hard drives (got 2 SSDs down there) would it pull enough air from bottom intake?

 

Thanks
