I got a cooler master hyper 212 evo, and I am wondering what direction it should blow?

I'm not able to provide a real life picture right now, but I got a drawing which should be pretty easy to understand

Blue arrows means intake
Red means exhaust

Should it be blowing towards the back exhaust fan, or the top exhaust fan?
Either way the fan will be very close to the exhaust fan, can that cause problems?

Fan should suck air through the fins and towards the rear exhaust fan. This means your fan should be pointing in the opposite direction of your exhaust fan.

PSU should cool itself without putting any air into case (by sucking air from the bottom). Other than that, it's ok.

But which way should my CPU fan blow, you see in my drawing either option 1 or 2.

1 is towards the back exhaust fan, and 2 is towards the top exhaust fan.

The fan will blow through the heatsink fins and towards the rear exhaust
