Ok, So I'm making the jump to liquid cooling.
I know there isn't a 100% correct way to install the radiator and the fan, but I wanted to know what you guys think.
My case has a front intake fan and a rear outtake fan installed now.
I know the fan has to be blowing onto the radiator when it get's installed, but whats the most efficient way of cooling? If it helps, I have another 120mm fan so I could use 2 if it doesn't get to loud. It's a bottom mount PSU setup and a full ATX case. Here are a few diagrams of how I'm thinking of installing it.
"<" & ">" = Outside edges of PC case in the direction of airflow.
"1" = Fan (rear outtake)
"2" = Radiator
"3" = Front intake fan
Figure 1(how it's installed now)
<1......................3<
Figure 2 (after installing H50)
>12....................3<
Figure 3 (after installing H50)
<21....................3<
Most people have a "Figure 2" setup, but in my case, where will the hot air go?
Won't it stay inside the case?
Thanks in advance!

PS I hope my diagrams aren't difficult to understand >.<
