Just to be clear I know very little about pcs. So I just installed the kraken x53 aio and I am concerned about air flow because my aio is installed where the intake fans. Its the only place I can install the radiator. Now I have seen pictures of ppl with nzxt cases with the radiator installed on the front instead of the side like mine. My case is the Cyberpower ONYXIA Mid-Tower Black Gaming Case w/ USB 3.0, Front & Side Tempered Glass. Is the radiator being in the side going to add a little bit of cool air into the case? My rear fan is set to exhaust the hot air and I think I set up the fans on the radiator to exhaust cool air in to the pc or am I worrying about nothing?

That's fine. You can run some stress tests and look at your load temps.

I'd double-check, they look installed as exhaust not intake.

is it suppose to be installed differently because of the radiator?

Nah just a mind fart on my behalf, there's usually arrows on the side of the fan if unsure.

Yeah there was something about the shape of the fan blades that made me wonder as they're usually designed somewhat to scoup the air for higher static pressure, but it varies a lot these days.
