I need help on the best fan orientation to have on the Fractal Design Define S Case (with the window). I am planning to have a Corsair H100i v2 as my CPU cooler with the radiator and fans at the top of the case. I would like to replace the rear 140mm stock fan with a Corsair SP140. My dilemma is with the front of the case. I was thinking of having 2 SP140'S at the front and getting rid of the stock fan there as well as I do not want to bother with the fuss of adaptors \fan controller as my motherboard has only 3 case fans headers. If I was to have the 2 SP140's at the front, in which positions would they be best in at the front. Also, I would like to know if to have my PSU fan pointing up or down. I would also greatly appreciate any suggestions of how any other better all around fan orientations there are. Thank you.

Since hot air rises, case airflow rule of thumb is: front & bottom - intake; top & rear - exhaust; side - extra intake to cool CPU/GPU.
In your case: 2x front - intake; rad at top in pull configuration - exhaust; PSU fan facing downwards
