Hello i just got a Corsair H60 cooler for my intel i5-3570K. I was wondering which direction i should go with for the fan currently i have it sucking in the cool air from the outside through the radiator and being pulled out the top with a 140mm fan. i also have a 120mm pulling in cool air on the bottom front of the case. I have to option to throw ANOTHER 140 in the top to double the sucking out process. What do you think? should i flip it?

Intake (the way you have it) should give you slightly better temps that an exhaust setup. What case do you have? Provided its of reasonable size this is the better setup for a H60. An additional exhaust fan wont hurt obviously.

The best cooling is with your setup, if you reversed the fan it would only make it 1 or 2 degrees warmer. I would leave the fan the way it is and if you have a spare fan put it on the top . You can never have to much cooling.

I am rolling with the NZXT Phantom 410. I have a lot of cables from my PSU but are neatly tied together and tucked away well. I have room for another 140mm fan in the top of the case and its a webbed mesh like top so the air moves well. you guys think its a good rig then?
