Fan position for all-in-one cpu water cooler

Hi!
I have a Medion built desktop pc. The aio water cooler was installed by medion with the fan of the aio water cooler installed on the pc case, then the aio radiator. is this the right way? seen a youtube video where the guy attaches the radiator of the aio cooler to the case, then the fan. Which way is right please. Thanks, Fiona

Can be either, depends on whether the fans are being used as intakes or exhaust. Without any further details, I suspect yours are intake fans, and the YouTube clip you watched is an exhaust fan. Either way, it makes minimal difference, so I wouldn't worry too much about it

When the old water cooler started overheating the fan came on, and was blasting out the back of the pc where that fan is located. made a right noise.
