woulnt it be better for roof to extract and bottom rad to pull aire into the case?

Yes I'm sure you're right temps are fine though. The top radiator has to go where it is and the fans in the case above and the Typhoons static pressure is much better with push so I haven't come up with an alternative config.

When I tear down the tubing I am considering switching the bottom fans and radiator ensuring the fans push air into the rad from outside. The case is negative air pressure and gets a fair amount of dust in and I would like to do something about that.

easter whats that cable / tube coming from the back of the gpu the bit from the io plate end?

I think you may be referring to a USB3 IO plate connected to a header on the mobo.

Hot air only rises when no outside forces are involved. Using fans overrules "hot air rises". Fans are New Age types. They don't believe that hot air rises... and prove it over and over. ;)

Hot air inside the case exhausting out the back to be pulled in again from the top.
And again with the bottom. Exhausting out the bottom of the case to be pulled in again at the front.

You don't have to winky face me at all. Outside the case this is happening, the intakes are higher than the exhausts.
 
As floor is flat yes the exhaust out bottom can very possibly be getting mixed into front intake air. Same with back vent if near a wall or under a desk. But I've seen hot exhaust out back and top mix into side and bottom intakes when cases were under desks too. "Natural flow of air" has a very broad all encompassing definition. "Natural flow of air" under a desk can mean the hot exhaust from back and top can be mixing into the side and bottom intakes.

Cool air is denser than warm air so it falls/displaces the less dense warm air rises on top of cool air than stops. Heating the air causes it to expand = less dense = lighter = displaces less dense air. The air a fan moves air by making it denser then the surrounding air and thus it displaces it. Fans, walls, floors are just some of the variables that can and do effect the flow of air be it rising, blowing, falling, etc.
 
Interesting I'm going to have to switch things around and see how much difference it makes. Easy enough to do at the bottom but I don't have any options at the top as radiator has to be in the case and the fans on the top. Pulling air out is not going to better (i.e. static pressure).
 
It's been a while since I last posted in this thread so here goes. This is how my rig is at the moment but it is still a work in progress.

I plan on getting a water loop in there at some point over the holidays.
