radiator placement Phanteks Enthoo Evolv Glass with Kraken x62 best setup

[sluice]

Ok, 

 

So for my next build, I have purchased My case is the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv Glass edition.

I will be using a Kraken x62 AIO cooler.

 

My case came with 3x 140mm fans (PH-F140SP).
Two are are acting as intakes at the front by default and 1 is set as exhaust at the back.

 

I'm looking to install my radiator at the front, because : 

If, I install my Kraken x62 at the front, should, I move the two current Phanteks front fans to the top to act as Exhaust, or should I do a Push/Pull configuration?

If I go push/pull, which fans should I use for what purpose... The Phanteks for push and the Kraken's for pull? (Or the other way around?)

TL;DR
I want to install my Kraken x62 at the front of My Enthoo Evolv, which setup would yield better cooling :
1. Kraken fans at the front of the raditor. Move the current 2x stock Phanteks fan at the top.

2. Push/Pull with the Kraken sitting in between the Phantek's fan (push) and the NZXT fans (pull)

I'd have the radiator top mounted to allow you to intake from the front and exhaust from the rear and top.

That was my original idea, and it's still a possibility..

 

But from my research (and if you look at the video I have posted), there is a significant CPU different positioning your radiator at the front VS the top. In the video, he comes up with a whopping 10 degrees difference. 

The reason why is the radiator is fed hot air from the GPU when position at the TOP, while in the front, he's fed cold air. 

Anyway, I have attached a screenshots of the results so you don't have to look at the whole video.

Back to topic, by going front mount... Push Pull VS Push?

Thats true, do pull and have your other fans top mounted. Push/pull is proven to be no more effective than either push or pull, the only advantage is you are able to run all 4 fans at a lower RPM if you do push/pull.
