I just bought a Seidon 120m to cool my fx8350 in my antect 900. This is my first build so I was wondering, should I pull air in through the radiator (intake) or exhaust it since the back fan port is originally meant for exhaust. If I set it for intake, would the top 200mm fan be able to push out the air from the other 5 fans plus radiator?

Its a matter of preference. most people lik to have it take in air so you are not blowing hot air on your cpu cooler. i recomend just experimenting and seing what works best. try it 1 way if its not working change it. intake is how i would do it. that will create a positive pressure environment. the downside is there will be more dust in your case. which=more cleaning

That's why i don't ever do liquid cooling. either way you are messing up airflow and they dont cool any better than a noctura.

full custom is a different story but that is crazy expensive.
