Would this fan configuration work?

I'm thinking of changing my case fan set up to kinda an odd one. Case is the 760t. Currently I have a 120sp and 140af in the front intake. I front mounted my H110i so the intakes blow. Into rad the the 140sps on the other side of the rad blow into the case. I then have a sp120 mounted on the bottom as intake. I've got 2 af140s mounted as exhaust on the top and finally a af140 mounted at the rear. I want to try turning the rear fan into an intake and have the top be exhaust. Would that airflow setup make sense or should I leave it as is. I can also remove the rear fan and relocate it to the top giving me 3 140 exhaust at the top

Why are you doing that? H100i is cooling CPU, right? You can't get it any cooler by moving fans around on top-rear side when rad itself is sitting at front. Those fans have 0 effect on GPU too so I don't understand why are you doing this.

Really??? I figured having the duel push pull on the front intake would help draw more cool air through the case and would give me a higher overall air flow. Its the H110i the 140mm fan version I'm using.

Yeah, adding more fans to rad will do that. But I thought you were asking about exhaust fan placements. Those will have next to none effect to cooling. You could have 0 fans there and just air pressure would more hot air out of the case.

yeah i have three exhaust fans right now. two on the top of the case and one on the rear. i was wondering if i was to switch the rear fan to being intake and having the only exhaust fans being on the top if that would improve anything as the fan would be blowing over the back of the gpu backplate and over the cpu water block. just looking for as much cool air over the vital parts as possible and the quickest hot air removal.

You will see almost no change in temps. Mobo heatsinks might be bit cooler but those don't matter that much anyway.
