H80i GT - Best Fan Configuration

[PowerJayz]

I recently purchased a corsair H80i GT liquid CPU cooler, I am just wondering what is the best fan configuration I should use, should I use intake, exhaust or push/pull? My case does not have any other place for fans only the front intake and the rear exhaust.

Thank you, any responses will be greatly appreciated as this is my first liquid cooler.

Do you mean you only have the two fans that came with the H80, and nothing else? If that's what you mean, I would make the H80 push/pull as an exhaust in the rear. Even if you do have a case fan as intake I would probably still put it exhaust.

My reasoning is if you already have bad airflow, blowing warm air over your components won't help. Of course you could always put one of the fans in the front, and leave one on the cooler. That may or may not be enough cooling. I have no idea how well those H80's perform with a single fan.

Always exhaust, never blow warm air into your PC on purpose mount it in the back.
The cooler comes with 2 fans already so push/pull.
