Hello everyone,
So i have installed the cooler and they guy who installed it positioned the fans upward at the top of my casing as he said that its the best way to do it so the air flow comes in the casing from outside. And casing's front fans are set the same way by default. Now there are two fans one on the back side of the casing and one at the bottom to throw the air flow outside.
But i saw few videos where people installed the radiator where its fans throwing the air outside from the inside as the casing's fans throwing the air inside which makes a better circulation in their opinion and the back fan also throwing the air flow outside as the fan at the bottom throwing the air inside.

So my question, is my setup of fans are correct or do i have position the fans of the 115i cooler so they throw the air outside?
Sorry for my bad english..

It really doesn't matter. Linus Tech did an entire video testing configurations and they found a 5 degree difference between intake and exhaust from any given AIO cooler. I personally have my set up like this, though:

Back and top = exhaust, front and bottom = intake. That's just my preference, though, as it's always worked for me as a very logical set up. You're fine.

Also, with the fans mounted on top of the radiator instead of on the bottom, you'll be able to clean the radiator and all of the fan dust easier. The configuration you have is also the preferred configuration for Linus Tech because of this simple fact.
