How should I set up my fans for my H100i and in my Phanteks P400 case? I was thinking about doing it like the picture below. Any recommendations or tips?

seems like a solid option, keep in mind tough that a rad in the front might heat up your system a few degrees. usually this is neglectable tough.

I would actually with 2 intake fans and 3 out, put the rad at the top. IF there's clearance.

And the fans on a pull configuration from the rad.

Yeah unfortunately the Phanteks case doesn't have enough clearance to mount the rad at the top.

Looks good man. Rad in front = better CPU temps than mounting rad elsewhere (assuming good air flow in front).

Main:  1650 v2   @ 4,6GHz   -   X79 Deluxe                -   GTX 1080 @ 2000MHz   -   24GB DDR3 @ 2400MHz / CL10

Side:   i7-4790K @ 4,5GHz   -   Maximus 7 Hero        -   GTX 1070 @ 2114MHz    -  16GB DDR3 @ 2666MHz / CL12

Then perhaps do a pull configuration with two front intake fans to avoid more dust buildup in between the rad and the fans. Temps are the same mostly between push and pull on rads.

I pretty much setup all my builds like this. My new full size Corsair gives me space for 2 more fans on the side panel that aim directly at the GPU :)

Probably gaming or helping technophobes with tech...

My only suggestion would be to either have the 3 exhaust fans spin slower (at a lower RPM) than the two front intake RAD fans, or remove the front most exhaust fan on top. You want to try to maintain a slightly positive airflow in the case, which means more air coming in than is going out. This way you dont have air (and dust) being sucked in from corners and crevices
