Problem:  I have a phantom 630 case and a Corsair H110 that is mounted on the top of case. The case has 1 200mm front intake and 1 200m side panel intake and 1 140mm rear exhaust fan. Now I originally had the fans on the H110 bringing cold air into the case SEE then I thought that maybe I should orientate the Radiator fans so they draw warm case air up and out of the case and create a better air flow, so the hot air is more likely to rise out of case instead of pushing cool air against the warm air trying to escape. Sounds strange but this might help explain; http://i.imgur.com/i1jTUqr.jpg

 

I'm not sure what the better orientation is though, I was looking at my temps with the fans in like THIS and my CPU temps were hitting 58C they never went pass 50C when the H110 fans were bringing cool air into case. (In game of bf4) 

 

Question:  What do think the best way to have the fans orientated is? 

 

Notes:

All fans are running at 5v so I would assume the static pressure on the rad fans is about nothing. I can go up to 12v but everything is so loud and at 7v it's not bad for noise but I see about difference in temps.

I have reference blower fan graphic card so heat from the gpu is minimal. 

psu has the fan pulling air from underneath the case. 

Only the dual hard drive cage is actually in the case atm. 

CPU i5 3570k@stock, ambient temps around 26C when take my measurements. I usually play for like an an hour or two before and monitor the cpu temps for that length of time.

Is it just me or is Grammar slowly becoming extinct on LTT?

Gaming isn't a good test for CPU heat. If you want to put your rig through the ringer, use a stress test like prime95 or Aida64. Let the torture test run for half an hour, then check your temps.

You're and your are not the same. Neither are their, there, and they're. Defiantly and Definitely are definitely not the same. Definately and Rediculous are not words, and you should feel bad for misspelling them. If English is your first language, you don't have a learning disorder, and you get any of these wrong, you are making the entire forum slightly dumber by doing so. Please take the extra three seconds to type properly, and have a nice day.

regardless the temps are still going to be higher

Point. Honestly, I can't really think of a reason why you're getting better temps with the air blowing in to the case, but if it works, it works. My worry is that you're also blowing hot air directly onto your motherboard's chipset that way.
