H440 Air Flow Question

My H440 has a water cooled setup, it has a 360 rad in the front and a 240 rad at the top.

 

If I use the 360 rad in the front as intake, does that mean I'm just blowing hot air into my case? Not sure if that's a big deal or not. If so, does that mean I should make it an exhaust and have air flow be back/bottom to top/front.

When you're watercooling, unless you go all exhausts (bad idea), you will always be blowing some hot air into the case. Not a big deal. I like to use the basic principle "warm air rises" and use the top as an exhaust to get rid of the warm air. Each build is different though.

Depends on if you have everything water cooled. If you have all your GPU's and CPU water cooled it doesn't matter at all. Keep your setup as it is. Heck you could even put the top 240 as an intake too and have a single rear exhaust fan.

Do the temps for the actual mobo matter? I do have CPU/GPU water cooled, but lately it seems like if I do anything intensive my PC just freezes or bluescreens under load. I haven't OCed anything yet so not sure what's going on. The case itself feels a lot hotter to touch than I was expecting though.

They wont get hot enough to matter

And you're sure this is a heat problem? A 240 + 360 is more than enough for a CPU/GPU. What are your temps? What rads etc. are you using?
