Help comparing the cooling setup

I currently have

3 front intake fans.

1 rear exhaust fan.

2 push exhaust fans below an 240mm AIO radiator which blow the air out.

 

I was wondering if any of the below setups would be better than my current setup.

 

3 front intake fans.

1 rear exhaust fan

2 pull exhaust fans ABOVE an 240mm AIO radiator which would suck air from the radiator.

 

OR 

 

2 intake fans (in front of or behind) the radiator, 1 front intake fan.

1 rear exhaust fan

2 exhaust fans on the top.

This will be equal to your current. Push vs Pull is more about dust and looks than performance. Maybe there's something with some fan models, but either way, the difference isn't massive.

Assuming AIO is for CPU, this would give you better CPU temps, but also worse GPU temps as you are getting hotter intake air through rad.
