k, so I'll get this out of the way, my CPU (i7 4790k) has water cooling (corsair h110i GTX)

 

no this isnt the question though.

 

Today I got my new case and it is a NZXT H440 V2, everything is done (looks gorgeous :D) but, I have a question, 

right now the intake and exhaust fans are running in this configuration: 

3x 120mm intake

2x 120mm exhaust (radiator)

1x 140mm exhaust

 

so this makes it be negative, but I was wondering if I should turn around the fans on the radiator so its also intake, will look something like this:

5x 120mm intake

1x 140mm exhaust

 

so what do you guys think about this? Thx :)

The fans for your rad should be exhaust. due to the fact you are gonna blow hot air into the case when you are really trying to get cooler air in.

Are you keeping the stock case configuration and having the rad as exhaust at the top?

If so, that seems fine. 

Positive/negative airflow isn't just a matter of fan count. Just adjust your fan speeds.

yeah you can just change your fan speeds, and make sure the intakes are filtered otherwise it doesn't matter. But generally speaking high negative or positive setups are inefficient
