I have a H100i GTX and I am wondering what the best spot for the rad is, it thr top or the bottom, Im not using the front because the stock 200mm fan is there and it works pretty well.

So that they're in between the case and the radiator. So if the rad is at top, put the fans above the rad. Performance-wise it makes no difference but it's easier to clean.

I would put them on top of the rad and make them pull air through the rad out of the case. It's much easier to clean the rad if it gets a little dusty
