H100i Fan Question

Hey everyone, just a quick question. I'm going to be getting everything for my new build soon and will be getting the H100i to go with a 4670k. Case is going to the CM Storm Stryker with the rad mounted on the top of the case. Now my question is should I have the fans exhausting air out the top of the case or as intake? Also, would a push/pull setup be more beneficial? Thanks.

Hot air rises, set them as exhaust.

Exhaust, as long as you have more intake than exhaust.

a test has been ran with 4 fans cooling the h100i. You wont see much of a difference. i cannot find that link atm, but i have the h100i, and it cools my fx 8350 very well. And you are going with a intel cpu, so you would be fine with 2 fans in a exhaust form.
