Hello, sorry if this question was asked already but I couldn't find what I was looking for, just similar topics. So, I'm currently waiting for my PC components to get here to build my first gaming PC the only question I have is the one in the tittle, I am going to use the Corsair Hydro Series H105 in front of the case but I don't know if it should be on exhaust or intake. I'm also using x2 Corsair AF120 fans on top and the 140mm stock fan on the back. That said, what fan configuration should I use ?

Btw: The case I'm going to use is the Phanteks Enthoo Pro M.
Any help is appreciated and sorry for bad English not my native language.

Intake is generally better because it's the cool air from outside the case that enters the radiator. If the radiator is set up as an exhaust, hot air may be entering the radiator which is not as good because the radiator's purpose is to cool the water! If you are going to do exhaust, do top exhaust closest to the intake fans. Don't do rear exhaust.
