Hi,
I need a little advice. I have a h80i cooling my i5 4670k. At the moment it is pulling air from the case and pushing it out the back but I have 2 fans right above it pulling air in and I also have 2 in the front. Would it be worth making it so the h80i pulls in fresh air and the top 2 fans exhaust air out? I have a corsair 300r case btw with the windowed side panel.
Thanks

Fans should be oriented like this in most cases:

1. Front/side fans: Pull cool air into the case (intake).
2. Rear/top fans: Pull hot air out of the case (exhaust).

It sounds like your H80i is properly oriented, from your description.

Thank you! Less work for me then.
 

You are welcome. Less work is a good thing, in this regard.

Have fun!
