Case fan/Radiator setup help?

fan setup is a little tricky giving the fact the radiator for the cpu will be mounted at the top pulling air in through the radiator and into the case.

this means that the corsair h100i is essentially an intake + one 140mm front intake, three side intake fans (200mm + 2 120mm's) but only one rear exhaust fan 120mm...

wondering if anyone here had any idea if this will work or will simply create too much negative pressure?

the two 120mm side intake fans are near the lower bottom right of the case blowing air into the hard drives and if I rotated them they would simply draw the air from the front fan intake back out again.

the 200mm side fan blows air over the GPU which I'm thinking is much needed.

need some advice on this one, new to setting up radiator AIO cooling too so I'm not entire sure if have it so that the radiator is inside the case with fans on top but outside the case (screwed through the metal grids etc) and pulling air in will work.

OR if having the radiator in the case with the fans on the underside of it pushing air from inside the case through the radiator is the best way to go about it? - I had thought though that doing it this way means only warm air is getting pushed through the radiator as a result of all the case intake fans meaning that the CPU will never really be that "cool"

maybe I'm over thinking this but need some assistance, the case in question is the NZXT Phantom Black/Orange full tower version

You should have the 2 rad fans as exhaust and disconect the rear, but you could try the rear fan as an intake see what temps you get.
 
that wouldn't work though all the hot air being drawn out by the SP120 fans on the rad... would just cook the CPU

Wrong, having all the rest of the fans as intake will give you positive pressure and admitly the air from inside the case will cool the rad but the cpu wont cook.
