Which configuration will give the best temps?

I currently have a Corsair H60 set up as an exhaust out of the top of the case. To supplement it, the case has 2 120mm fans in the front that intake air into the case. along with those, there is also one 120mm fan in the back of the case exhausting air out. Would I get better temperatures setting up the H60 as an intake from the top of the case and the rear fan as an exhaust, or the H60 fan as an exhaust out of the top of the case and the rear fan also as an exhaust?

Any temp difference will barely be noticable, but the best way to see is try swapping them around and see what happens. You might get 1 or 2c difference if that.

Thank you, was just wondering if there would be any major differences.

@Inferius

easy enough to test yourself, make the fan(s) on the H60 as intake and retest.

you'll prolly find a 3°-5° cooler difference. but if the case is in a hutch or closet the

recirculated air will actually rise (ambient air change).
