Hello

This is my current case

NZXT Phantom
http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/34-phantom

And currently i have a I7 4790k with the H60 Liquid cooler.

My current setup for fans is the 2 120mm front right fans that are intake.

The front 140mm fan is also intake.

The two top 200mm fans are outtakes (upwards).

The rear fans i have 3 120mm fans and i have 1 fan blowing air through the heat sink, and 2 behind pulling air away from the heat sink exhausting heat from the case.

My question is if i get another Liquid cooler for my CPU (hopefully the NZXT Kraken G10, with the H90 Liquid cooler) do i remove the front 140mm fan and make it an intake fan blowing air through the heat sink, or do i have it dragging air through the heat sink making it an outtake fan (since hot air rises and cool air sinks), what would be best?

Any advice is helpful!
