Luke did a full video on radiator positions that might be worth a watch.

I have a H100i, a motherboard and a 6700k for now. One question though, what is the best orientation for the radiator? fans blowing in or pushing air out?

Here is my complete build spec, minus the graphics as i already have an ASUS STRIX 1080.

Core i7 6700k @ 4800mhz 1.33v * 16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX @ 3000mhz * ASUS Z170-A * Corsair H100i * ASUS GTX 1080 STRIX @ 2100mhz * XFX Pro Black Edition 80+ Gold 850w * Phanteks ECLIPSE P400S * AOC U2879VF 28" 4K
