I received a recent update with the NZXT S340 and an H100i liquid cooler for my i7-4770k. I was wondering about the optimal fan configuration for the radiator—should fans face the outside of the case or the inside? Here are some images to help clarify.

I would favor cooling the radiator using outside air instead of warmer case air. As long as you can expel the hot air from the radiator and other heat-generating components, that would be ideal. Otherwise, you're opposing the airflow of the graphics card.
