Top AIO intake or exhaust?

Go to solution Solved by jiyeon,

I would position the radiator so it is blowing out since naturally hot air goes upwards, and put the three fans on the outside top of the radiator so all the hot air goes outside the top of the case.

I have two front intake and 1 rear exhaust and a 240mm radiator at the top. Should those two AIO fans be pulling air in through the top or blowing it out? (The only place to mount the fans is under the heatsink not above) the GPU has 3 fans if that helps.

General rule of PC building - top is always exhaust.
