NZXT S340 AIRFLOW

I am going to buy the new NZXT S340 and I would like some help with the airflow orientation and configuration to see what is the best optimal airflow setup. The case supports 140 or 120mm fan in the rear and a 120mm fan on the top. The front supports a 240mm or 280mm radiator. I will replace the stock case fans with my 140mm fan and a 120mm and use my h100i. Im thinking about using the rear 140mm fan as an exhaust and the top 120mm fan as an intake but I'm not sure which side i should place the radiator fans on and the direction for the radiator fans. Any help would be appreciated thanks a lot!

I will pretend you didn't say this "the top 120mm fan as an intake".Top and the back fan for exhaust bottom and front for intake.Place the rad on the front panel or if you can't do that place it on top with exhaust fans but place the fans below the rad so it's easy to clean.If you can place the rad on the front panel do it.

Beware of him that is slow to anger; for when it is long coming, it is the stronger when it comes, and the longer kept. Abused patience turns to fury.

Hey, so I know this thread is old, but is really pointing the radiator inwards a good idea? I just got this case too, and I'm just curious! And I'm wondering myself how to direct the fans. I found this forum post: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2083151/cpu-water-cooler-radiator-configuration-h100i-intake-exhaust.html

 

But it says something completely contradictory to what you guys are saying here. Which is better?

The thread you linked doesn't really apply to the s340.
