Hello , I'm putting a cooler master Seidon 120v closed loop in my cit vanquish case , I'm going to mount a fan on each side of the rad in a push pull set up , should I have it as an exhaust or intake , as an intake will cool the cpu better , however make the other components hotter , but will this effect me as much as I will have 5 case fans , or as an exhaust , higher cpu temps , but cooler other components?

Thanks in advance :)
 
Solution
If you have 5 fans, then the inside of the case shouldn't be that warm and exhaust makes a lot of sense. Pushing warm air in the case will make it a bit warmer, affecting all other components.
