I Just got the H60 Corsair water cooling and I need help on where to place the fans. I have two 140mm Phenteks fans in the top of the case as well as two 120mm cooler master fans in the front(lower) all blowing air into the case, then i have a 120mm in the back(upper) that blows air out of the case. The problem is that with the new H60 it says I need cold air and should change that fan to also blow air into the case, I know i shouldn't have all the fans blowing into the case but i'm confused about the best placement. It's a mid with sli so I need good cooling.

First thing, I'd switch around your (2) top fans and exhaust air from the case. Hot air rises, so all you're doing it fighting thermodynamics with trying to push air into the case, while the hot is trying to escape.
You can either place the radiator in your back 120mm exhaust fan, or in one of the front 120mm intake fans. The choice is yours. Most systems run the radiator on the exhaust side because once the cooler air runs through the radiator on the intake side, you now have warm air circulating within the case, which wouldn't help your SLi setup.

I was going to put the rad on the back because the hose only seems to reach from there, i tried flipping the top 2 fans around and it increases my graphic card temps by about 6-7 degrees, both card run at about 36 idle and up to 65-70 under load(with both fans as intake), after i installed the H60 I discovered a temp is overheating in Speedfan now, TEMP#4 (IDK what it is) seems to be and 65-70 degrees now as well as core 0 is way up there as well, but on the program CPU Temp it says all my cores(i7 950) and running about 46 - 61(max) degrees, are these temps ok for a mid sli?
