Should I mount my radiator at the front or top of my case?

[Deleted member 1281318]

Hi,
I recently ordered the parts for my new computer, these include a Corsair H100i and the Corsair Airflow 540. I was wondering if I should install my radiator at the front as intake and move the front fans to the top as exhaust or just install it at the top. I am planning on overclocking my CPU and was wondering if the heated air would be enough to cool my CPU if the radiator was exhaust. On the other hand I was wondering if the heated intake air from a front mounted radiator would be sufficient to cool my GPU which is the MSI GTX 780.
Thanks in advance.

Basically if you mount it at the front the CPU gets the best cooling, but is dumping heat into the case so everything else will have higher temperatures. Stick it at the top and its the other way around.

Personally, I would put it at the top of the case.
