I have 2 pc's.
One is built with NZXT Phantom. I have all 120mm/140mm noctua fans as intake, the H80i w/ 2 noctua fans is intake in rear as well, and 3 x 200mm fans (2 on top and 1 top side) are my exhaust fans...... Is this ok or does the radiator fans need to be exhaust??
The other I'm about to build in a NZXT s340 will have 2 140mm in front, and the top 140mm exhaust. The rear will have an H60 cooler push/pull, exhaust or intake??

The reason why I ask is I read this fan setup 101 article and he states this:
Another common mistake is to have radiator over an intake fan. To many beginning watercoolers this seems to be ideal since it brings cold air through the radiator; however, this has the adverse effect of putting hot air into the case, bringing the ambient temperature up. It's a much better idea to have your radiator placed at the top or rear of your case so cooler internal air can be used to cool the loop.
