H440 Case Radiator intake or exhaust?

Hello. ^_^

 

I got 2 new fans today Noctua NF-A14 industrialPPC-3000 PMW Fans x2

 

I want to use these 2 fans as a replacement for my current H110i GTX Liquid Cooler Fans.

I did some research and these are good rad fans from Noctua (140mm) fans.

 

So my question is : Which is the best option with these 2 new fans - intake or exhaust?

 

Here is a diagram of my current setup with the stock H110i GTX Liquid Cooler Fans in.

(not my best diagram but its understandable ^_^ )

I would suggest having them as exhaust. I had mine as intakes on my h440 for a while, but they are unfiltered so was getting a lot of dust.

I'd say intake since the inside temp of the case will be higher the ambient temp

I was actually thinking of the dust problem too if I was to go intake.

See then I would run into dust problems.
