Hi, I have a Corsair 550D and was going to get a h100i because I didn't realize I could put the H110 radiator on the side panel and have it exhausting air.
So let's say that's what I do, I have the H110 rad on the side panel exhausting air. That leaves me with the rear fan, the two top fans, the two front fans and the bottom fan. What configuration would give the best cooling with the H110 rad on the side exhausting air?
Thanks

You need to set up the radiator as an intake. Think of a car radiator - it pulls cooler air from the outside rather than using hot air from the inside. Cool air across the radiator provides maximum efficiency. As for your other fans, set them up so that the rear and top are exhaust and the rest are intake. You want to maintain postitive pressure in the case.
