Question about rad fan exhaust

T.R.A.N.C.E.

New member
So doing the build below currently and wondering if I should have the fans on the rads exhausting into the case, or out of the case, or front rad exhausting into case and top rad exhausting out? I personally am leaning towards both rads exhausting out of the case, but then will there be a problem with limited air intake from within the case then?
Cheers

^ ok thanks, what about the second rad in front of the case, blowing in to or out of the case? Out would be better right? As then the top mounted rad would not get the second hand warm air exhausted into case from front rad.

In the front out the roof mate as you would if it didnt have rads - FYI I do the exact same thing in Orca
