I HAVE THE NZXT H440 SILENT CASE IN WHICH I AM GOING TO INSTALL A CORSAIR H100I LIQUID COOLER.
BUT I AM LITTLE CONFUSED HERE ON WHERE TO PLACE THE FANS IN THE TOP OF THE RADIATOR OR IN THE BOTTOM OF THE RADIATOR POINTING THE BOTTOM.
PLS HELP WHICH WILL BE A BETTER OPTION ..

I think you get the best performance from the radiator if the fans are blowing directly into it (rather than sucking air into it from the other side). So if you want intake, put the fans on top of the radiator blowing down into it (and into the inside of the case); or if you want out-take, put the fans on the bottom of the radiator blowing "up" into the radiator and out of the case. (Just my two-cents; probably won't make a big difference either way. The bigger decision is if your setup works better with intake or out-take).

I JUST WANT THE CPU TO BE COOLED PROPERLY AND THE RADIATOR ALSO SHOULD WORK GOOD
