So recently I had bought an h100 cpu cooler but the problem is that I have a raidmax horus case with msi 970a g43mobo, fx8320 cpu, and powercolor turbo duo r9 270 gpu with a hdd, and with this set up the rad wouldn't fit anywhere so instead of buying a case I modded it abit and removed the hdd cage and cd rom cage to place the radiator in the front of my case, now the stocks fans on the h100 are pulling in air from the front of the case while the additional fans I put on it are also pulling in the same direction (2x cougar turbines on back of rad, 2x stock corsair fans on front of rad) while I also have one cougar turbine as exhaust on top of case and rear of case with one coolermaster cheap fans as intake from side of case and one also as an exhaust on top of case, now my question is which way do I want the h100 fans blowing cause with them as in take from the front I noticed the increased ammount of heat in the case and the loudness of the fans which I heard was normal and also I can't top mount it unless I remove my ps2 connector it is in the way and also if you can suggest some fans that are powerful enough to cool my radiator and be alittle more silent that would also be great, if you need pics just ask all help is appreciated and thanks in advance! =)

(http://raidmax.com/chassis/horus.html Is this your case?) Seems like there is only 1 fan mount in front... is there anything which might block airflow? If not you might want to place all your fans into push/pull config that 2 on top and side takes the air in and all fans on radiator are pulling air out of the case.
