Optimal Fan setup in a Corsair 450D with a h100i gtx

Solution
Mount it top, if majority of usage is fans about 1200 rpm or below, use pull configuration, if above 1500 rpm use push. Makes for a few degrees difference. If you aren't pushing for maximum performance, I'd mount it pull. Much easier to clean the rad if it's visible than having to remove the fans. Use 2x intakes and you'll be good. No need for overkill with fans, or even a rear exhaust with decent intakes and top mounted exhaust fans.
