I got a nzxt s340 and an h100i water cooler and was wonderinf if i should have my 2 120mm corsair sp fans pushing air out facing the inside of the case or pulling out warm air out facing the front panel of the case i also have one 120mm corsair af fan in the back and another 140mm corsair af fan on top if my case

Hi,

I think that you should do the intake at the front and the exhaust from out the back, if you are starved for airflow, I would set the top 140mm as an intake so you have positive air pressure, but then you do not have the equal air pressure if you had an intake at the front. The advantage of the front intake on the S340 is that is it filtered so you will have generally less dust in the case.

Short story, I think that you should go for the front intake.

Hope this helped, feel free to ask any questions.

Thanks,
Simon
