I'm wanting to build a PC inside the NZXT H440 case. I'm very new to PC building and was wondering about how I should set my fans up. I've chosen 3 Corsair AF140s. One for an exhaust, and 2 for the NZXT Kraken radiator that I will use in the top of the case. And then 3 Noctua Nf-f12s for the front intake. What i'd like to know is, can I have a fan next to the radiator on top of the case? Or is that not possible and what is the best setup for the Kraken? Should I pull air in through it, push in out or what??
 
Solution
AF fans aren't suitable for AIO water coolers. You need to use SP (static pressure) fans.

The best way to mount fans on an AIO is as intake, so that cool air from outside is passed over the radiator rather than warm air from within the case.

So how would I mount the fans? Which orientation!?
