Build Complete Need advice on proper fan placement. Should I change my setup? Take a look.

The red arrows represent exhaust direction and blue represent cool air intake direction. Should I place the heatsink fan on the other side of the fins? Are the heatink fan and intake fan fighting for air?
This is my first full build, just need some advice, thanks.

Leave the front two and rear fan, but turn around the cpu cooler fan so it's blowing towards exhaust. I'd leave it in the same spot just turn it around.

Only other thing I could say about it is try and clean up the cable management. Build looks good, but could look much cleaner!!

It seems like your cpu fan interferes with the air flow so I would just turn it around to get a more fluid air flow.

CPU cooler air-flow arrow is drawn wrong in the picture.
Other than that everything is fine there.

Doesn't the fan pull away from the heatsink ?...

So you think it's drawn wrong or is mounted wrong? Hard to tell in the pic, but it looks like it's actually flowing in the direction the arrow show.

Usually it should flow through the heatsink. At least that's how I've always set my air coolers up. Mounted as shown, but flowing through heat sink towards exhaust.

Air-flow arrow drawn wrong. Mounted correctly.

Thanks. I was thinkin that too but wanted to be positive.

Ya, I guess I did assume the fan blew outwards instead of towards the heatsink

I've always had it blow through the heatsink when I was using air. But it looks like you do have it set correctly, with the two front fans as intake, the heatsink blowing through towards the rear and rear as exhaust. That case looks nice and open, so you should have plenty of flow. Unless of course the front is somehow closed off or restricted with a front panel.
