Installing the fans and positioning

I will be installing aio deepcool captain 240 in a corsair 400c case and i am not sure whether to install the radiator on top or in front. In either way how should i mount the fans for the radiator. If i mount the radiator on the front panel should i mount 2 fans on top to push the air out and one fan on the back side? Or if i mount the radiator on top and have 2 fans installed on the front panel to pull the air inside.

another question, i have 3 fan headers on the board with one pump header i think and im installing 5 fans, how should i hook them up. I noticed aio cooler came with some fan adapter so i can plug 4 fans into that.

Id roof the aio cooler so that the hot air can escape directly from the case, intakes in front and another exhaust on the back. i would plug the fans where i can control them the best. im not sure if ur board has individual controls for each fan. i believe the fan adapter for the aio was intended for u to hook 4 fans on the radiator, but this is ltt forums purpose them as you see fit
