Here is my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/LQMQwP

I just bought the corsair H110 but I don't know what way to set the fan up.
I have two corsair 140mm quiet edition fans in front as intakes. What fans should I use as the exhaust and the radiator? Should I use push or pull or push/pull and how do I set it up? How many fans do I need? What is the best overall set up?

What's wrong with mounting the fans and radiator as the instructions recommend? Fans as (push) intake?

I have tried both push and pull on my h80i, I haven't done push/pull, mainly because I don't need it until I get my new processor in a few months, lolol.
Temps were 1 c different.
So it really doesn't matter much, I would just put them in push, so it's easier to clean. So you don't have to pull the rad off to clean it.

Also, if you're going to do a high oc you may consider push/pull. If you're not going to do much oc just do push.

Because my case already has two intakes so why would anyone have 4 intake and 1 exhaust shouldn't there be equal amounts?

I have 6 intakes currently and 1 exhaust.
Just have the rad at the top of the case pushing air through, that when you clean it, all you have to do is pull the fans off the rad, rather than pulling the whole rad out of the case to clean it.

To do push pull, set it up like this.

Have one set of fans pushing, and one set pulling.

Here's another example


If you need more help, lemme know I can take pictures of my pc for you, to give you an idea.

How do I set up a push pull?


Push pull set up is having fans on both sides of the radiator, both facing one way, so one set of fans is pushing air through the rad whilst the other set on the other side are pulling the air through.

So in a push/pull config. the fans are all going the same way right? which way is the best? exhaust or an intake? and the rear exhaust should that still be an exhaust or a intake? Thanks for all your help

So all 4 fan on top are exhaust while the back rear fan is an exhaust too right? Because i have read making it an intake it better with a push/pull setup as an exhaust?

Yes, heat rises, make the rad fans exhausts.
If you have 2x 140mm intakes(which you said you did) you will have good airflow, with good natural flow as I like to call it.

All right I see now all 4 fan mount on the radiator to be exhausts.

But what about the rear back panel fan? exhaust too?

Yes I do have 140mm intakes.

I'd leave it as exhaust as well, Unless you have a dust filter for the rear.

Alright thanks for all your help and I don't have a dust filter on my corsair 750-D case.

I was think of putting these on the radiator: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/noctua-case-fan-nfa14indus...

While putting this as the rear back panel exhaust: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/noctua-case-fan-nfa14indus...

Hope there not too loud those are the best of the best.. I do have a fan controller though so It should be good.

Here's my build btw: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/LQMQwP

Thanks for all your help any advice??

Noctuas are great fans, I would personally never buy them as I think there too expensive, but. There highly rated. I'm just going to be getting SP 120mm PWM quiet editions for my h80i. Other than that, I think you're good to go.
