Air intake or exhaust??

[DrewJKL]

So here is my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/LQMQwP


After receiving the corsair H110 in the mail and reading the manual it say "for best cooling performance we recommend mounting the fans as an intake" and then it show a picture of the fan mounted at the top of the case with the radiator below. See the problem is that most corsair cases there is two front intake already which my case has. So 4 intakes and 1 exhaust i thought this is just bad there should be an equal amount or intake and exhaust right? what should I do mount them as intakes or not? why would corsair say that? So if I did decide to mount the fans as exhaust then would I just turn the fans around or do I have to mount them under the radiator? which side should the tubing go on the left side or the right side? In the manual it shows on the right but I have seen both? Shouldn't top fan mount be exits because heat rises what should I do and how do I do it?

that's weird, that not the way I've ever done it.

Here is how I've done it with my computer builds:

front of case: intake fans
top of case: Radiator, with fans for exhaust
rear of the case: exhaust fans.

Best would be a push/pull config. 2 intake fans on the bottom of the radiator, and 2 as exhaust on top of the radiator.

Yeah I am pretty sure I am going to turn the fans around but should I mount them under the radiator? How should I set up the Push/pull and what fans should I get??
