From what i see here if i was you i would flip that bottom fan, so that the air goes out the bottom rather then comes in so all the hot air that gets trapped beneath the graphics card will have an exit, i know hot air always rises but in computer cases the air flow is a little different. Also i would flip the two on top and make them intakes, so that way it blows nice cold air down through your case rather, the back exhaust is enough along with the bottom for the exits, you always want positive airflow in a computer case (more intakes then exits), especially since all the air on your radiator is blowing straight out the case instead of down on the CPU like its suppose to be. Flip the fans i told you and you should see a big difference in the way your case cools, nice set up by the way. Hot air tends to get trapped by things in the way, so a graphics card has to be properly ventilated. Right now with your water cooling setup you have the hot air going through the radiator, being cooled and ejected through the top, which is a waste, that's why i said flip your fans so when it pulls air in (room temperature) it cools it and cools your motherboard and graphics card before it gets thrown out of the case threw the bottom or rear exhaust. So the top two would be blue (arrows down) instead of red (arrows up), and the bottom fan would be red (facing down) rather then blue (facing up). Kind of confusing I know i had a lot of trouble understanding how a computer case was cooled when i first started learning this stuff from my friends.

thoroughly read.
ok now my point.
if i flip radiator fans then will it not be like all hot are coming from radiator blown straight in to all case components inside ? coz radiator spreads heat.
heat coming out of GPU hits PSU roof and between PSU and GPU there is vent (PCI Slot covers removed)
When top vent is sucking air up the floor intake will suck cooler air inside.
front intake's air will be sucked out by the floor intake if i flip it and coz if you see pic this is no big distance b/t them and 1800 sucking out will disturb air blown by front intake.
may be i'm totally wrong but this is my point.
case is closed 24/7 just opend it to take pic and if you check Gigabyte sumo Alpha it has a big mash on side panel. too and i think its not a good option for a liquid cooling system it may be disturbing air flow.
What do you say.?
Thanks for liking the setup :D

Yes you do have some good points in there, however, the radiator doesn't only separate the heat, the water that courses through the radiator tank and flows out to the cpu also cools the air, I have a Kraken in my system with a push/pull configuration and its nothing but cold air blowing into my system. That is why i said flip the top two, especially since it is in open air like that, However, this would also cause more dust to get into your system. I guess my suggestion in this kind of situation would be to see if you can fit two more fans (25 mm thick) on the other side of your radiator so that way you have a push pull and leave the top fans like they are. I would then at the point leave the bottom one like it is.

These are all silent, you probably won't even hear them run, not to mention they push 95+ CFM, the two PWM fans are for the H100i you have running in your system, they will be able to adjust according to what your corsair H100i says to adjust it to.

Like i said the rosewill's you'll hear them run and they push close to 80 CFM each or mid 70's but its up to you which route you want to go, but these are the best of the best fans.
