Which solution should I choose?

 

Solution one:

- 3 x 120mm intake

- 2 x 120mm exhaust

- But the exhaust is an H100i

 

Solution two:

- 4 x 120mm intake

- 1 x 120mm exhaust

- Non-radiator exhaust

Too many intake for that one exhaust for solution 2. You would get dead zones of hot air.

you want positive pressure but your cooling won't be effective if you are compressing hot air in your rig
