Hello, i'm inexperienced. I'm just stumped on the best way flow air through my case in my build. I only have room in the front of the case for the Kraken x72. I've read that the top and back of the case fans ideally exhaust. So my question is, where do I put intake fans for this build? Do the fans that go on the radiator function similar to regular case fans, in which case they will be in taking cool air into the pc? If not should I take cool air in from the back and exhaust from the front? No intake at all? No exhaust?

Thank you.

Well, since you're using a 360 radiator at the front, make other fans as exhaust as you want remove all the heat quickly. This also means your gpu is sucking some of the hot air from the radiator which would lead to higher temps. Maybe 5-7? Not sure.
