Airflow question.
I have the following
240 XSPC RS rad with 2 gt’s attached
240 XSPC RX rad with 2 gt’s attached
120 Generic rad with 2 xigmatek set in push pull

I have added the 120 rad since I took the picture but it is mounted where the exhaust fan currently is. Please see the pic below of how I have the fans orientated.

I always stick to the rule of the fans push outside air through the radiators, but I need to have an exhaust fan in the case so plan to set the 120 rad up with push pull fans exhausting out of the case.

So I just wanted to see if people though I had my air flow set up in the best way.

Cheers Tony
 
I would suggest putting the top fans in reverse so you have them pulling air out. Otherwise you'll just have more warm air circulating in your case, and that single exhaust would not be able to compensate.
 
As above
Though you could try the 120 as an intake too
Edit: Realised that may not of been overly clear, I meant as above poster (Jinxpad) so
Bottom 240 IN
Top 240 OUT
Then the 120 either IN or OUT, maybe try both

Thanks for the advice chaps

I might try having the 120 as an intake and the 240 up top as an outtake. I had the top 240 as an outake beofore but because the gpus create a lot of head it was just pushing through hot air through the rad. I will see how much air flow the 2 120 fans on the 120 rad create as ans intake and go from there.
