Hi everyone. Im replacing a 5yr old low cost AIO cooler with a noctua 12s. Here is my setup and im wondering what your opinions are for the most optimal air flow solution. Note there is a fan in the front and back, an extra fan seen hanging loose here, and 2 slots on the top where i intend to install the loose fan.

Initially im thinking of installing the 12s horizontally with the fan blowing towards the top and possibly have the loose fan be used to bring air in from the other top slot, but i have no experience with computer hardware and would prefer a better opinion on the situation. Any help is greatly appreciated thanks

How long to heat sinks last? Heres a pic of my air flow w the heat sink between 2 fans opinions?

A long, long time. It's basically a metal tube with gas inside so it'll last as long as the pipe doesn't get damaged. 

That seems fine.
