Solution
It would depend on how your current fan layout and airflow is, but yes, as lowriderflow said, it's generally better to have it as intake so that cool air passes over the radiator.

generally the instructions will say to have it as exhaust.... but it will work better as intake.

so the radiator is pulling fresh air from outside the case... then after the radiator the hot air can escape immediately out the top (so your top fans will be exhaust)

just make sure you get a magnetic dust filer for the outside of your case or your radiator will get quite filthy
