Best way for static pressure

So I have a Fractal r4 with 3(140mm fans). 2 intake on the front, my h80i on the back pulling air in, and 1 at the top as an outtake. Is that fine or should I switch the directions of the h80i and top fan?

Leave the top fan as it is, but put the H80i as an exhaust, too.

 

EDIT: General rule for airflow: Front and bottom: In. Back and top: Out.

Do you have enough room to mount the H80 as a top exhaust in the forward position?  If so then place the 140 as a rear exhaust.

 

My thought is that, even with the i80 as a rear exhaust, it will be pulling (relatively) warm air from the CPU/mobo; while placing it top forward might give it better access to cool air coming in directly from the front intakes.  Let the rear fan pull the hot air out.

 

Other than that I agree with OnVacation - Front and bottom: In. Back and top: Out.
