All intake case fans no exhaust.

Hi so i have this old thermatake case with 4 places for mounting fans. i already mounted 2 blue Antec LED fans on the window as intakes and 1 on the front of the case as also an intake. now normally id just put an exhaust fan in the back of the case but the thing is i just bought a corsair h70 core liquid cooler and in the manual it recommends mounting the fans as intakes to draw cold air from outside the case through the radiator. if i do this then i wont be able to have any exhaust fans as now all of them are intakes. would my pc overheat if all my fans are mounted as intakes? or is it better to do this. leave your comments down bellow. thank you for reading this

you can mount the radiator as intake or exhaust  and it will barely make a difference

do whatever looks better and is easier

Positive pressure "passively" will exhaust the air. That said, I'd use your AIO as an exhaust.

Won't overheat, but airflow might be a bit weird. I'd run the H70 as exhaust, the temps inside the case aren't going to be a big deal.

Try to keep your airflow balanced with slight positive pressure. If you have enough fans (which you do) there will be almost no difference in temperature when using and AiO as exhaust or intake.

I've built 3 PC's, but none for myself... In fact, I'm using an iMac that my dad bought for me as my desktop. Awkward...

Please don't say "SSD drive." By doing so, you are literally saying "Solid State Drive Drive" and causing my brain cells to commit suicide. The same applies to HDD (Hard Disk Drive) and PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express).
