Pick your poison:
A)Prioritize cpu cooling:
-Hybrid cooler front intake.
-Rear and top exhaust.

B)Prioritize gpu cooling:
-Front fan intake.
-Hybrid cooler top exhaust.
-Rear is optional; if left open, the rear-most fan on the hybrid cooler can draw air through there, or you can keep the rear as exhaust... or just seal it off.
