I have a nzxt phantom 240 and I'm wondering the best setup for the fans. I have 2 120mm fans (on front of the case, and one on the back of the case. As well as a 240mm radiator with 2 120mm fans. It seems there is almost no circulation in the case as the fan in the front is towards the bottom of the case, and the fan in the back of the case is always blowing out cool air regardless of what temperature the air inside the case is. I have the 2 fans on the water cooler pushing air through the radiator out of the case.
Should I turn the 2 case fans so they both blow into the case, and have it so the 2 radiator fans are the primary fans for taking the air out of the case.

Thanks,

Since the hot air rises, there's a general rule of case fan displacement: front and bottom - intake; top and rear - exhaust.
If you want more airflow, install the 2nd front 120mm intake fan and the bottom 120mm intake fan as well.

the last one is true, i already made an thermodinamic and flow aproximation, and wel, yes, use that config with front and bottom for in and top and back for out will be the best config.
