Hey Guys Ive orderd my parts & am getting ready to build my first PC but Im still trying to figure out how to get the best airflow with what I have, from what Ive read I belive that the face side of the fan is the Pull side (& the back of the fan with the braces & wires is the Push side) please correct me if im wrong. Below is a quick Pic I made to show my current plan for the parts Ive orderd.

(the 2 fans going on the top are >

mounted through the case like so >
A friend reccomended that I use the 2 fans on top & also have the stock fans from the H100 mounted to the other side of the radiator (inside the case) for a total of 4 fans on the H100 but im not sure wether thats a good idea or not. (and what direction they should all be if i should do it.) I also cant decide if i should have the fans around the H100 (wether its 2 or 4) facing up (to take air into the PC through the case/radiator or to have the fans turned upside down to have them pulling air out of the case through the radiator. (Any adive would be greatly appreciated).

I also have a silly question about static, saying to just touch a piece of metal and others saying to have the PSU on & touch it. Id just like to clear up what the best course of action would be :D

Thanks4yourtime
 
Thanks for the Replys guys (I have actualy already orderd the fans for the Build they are:

Front 200mm > http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-021-BX
Side 230mm > http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-022-BX
Rear 120mm > http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-014-CM
Top 2x120 > http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-005-CS

I had also sent message to Corsair (similar to my first post), I got there Reply this morning:

"In the video it looks like he mounted the fans as an intake, bringing air into the case through the top, however i would recommend setting up these fans as an exhaust. Heat naturally rises so it makes sense to have the top of your case as the main exhaust as you have in your diagram.
Also, i don't think you will need to mount the stock fans to the bottom of the radiator, unless you are planning on running a very high overclock. Just 2 fans should be sufficient for a slight overclock or stock configuration. adding the other fans will create much more noise."

over all im feeling a little more confidant now about everything, so a Big thank you to those who posted (not just here but in other posts)

Thanks4Everything.
 
Can you report back on how the 230mm fits in the side panel?

I plan to mod the side panel to fit the fan. (I will be taking pictures throughout the Build to throw together in a slide video) Ill try to take extra pics of that part & will post a link to the video here when its done ;)

unfortunatly im having some problems with the order so it may not be till late next week before any of this happens :(
