Top fans push AND pull?

[xiorell]

Guys just putting together my new rig

CPU Cooler is a 120mm AIO.
I was gonna have 2x 120mm fans in the roof both pulling air out of the case exhausting through the roof vent.

Looking at it though, would it make sense to have the rear most 120mm roof fan pulling air IN and in theory feeding the AIO with cool air... And then the front most 120mm roof fan pulling air blowing out the top?

Won't make much difference at all, exhausting the hot air will benefit your other components too.

You could set the rear AIO to pull cool air in from the outside and leave the top as exhaust.

Gets my vote.... well worth a try.

Just left it all typical arrangement in the end, can always change it later. Think it seems fine though.

funny i should see this i thought about changing mine around i have a 240mm setup and i am thinking of moving the rad to the front of the case and mounting the fans to suck air through (or push air through) in to the system then using all the others fans at the top to suck the hot air out. i presume this would be the most efficient way due to hot air rising but im not to sure how much difference if any it will make to warrant the head ache of having to remove the HDD Tray to do it

My front and side fans pull colder air in and I have two top fans that are set as exhaust's

Just like the airflow image on this page http://www.coolermaster.com/case/full-tower/haf-x/

That's how I have my case set up.

Front fans push cool air into the main bay, rear AIO pushes cool air in and top fans exhaust hot air up and out.

I use 2 push and 2 pull, but like already said it makes little difference.
