My case is a Fracal Define C. I have 3 120mm fans and a corsair H60. What would be the best setup? I read conflicting opinions on making the h60 an intake or exhaust. Thanks.

if you intake through the radiator, you will be "cooling" the rest of the system with waste heat from the CPU.
if you exhaust through the radiator you will be using slightly warmed air to cool the CPU.

heat rises, use that to your advantage. I would mount the rad in the highest fan mount set to exhaust.
