My 120.3 rads are in front, inside case with fans in front of rads. I'm not sure which is best intake or outtake. I'm getting mixed advice. What's the benefits of each? If any.. Two loops, one for CPU/chipset other two gpus.

I would say Intake, take in the coldest air possible.. keeps the inside nice and cool if your good too :D

intake ..as most psu heat is exhausted out the back..You dont want to draw that hot air back in the case by running a front fan as an exhaust.

Why not try it both ways and see for yourself which works best? But I will save you the trouble from my own testing.
Always pull in colder air.

My case temps increased quite a bit when I had a rad on my intake fans. It's now on top of case with bitspower rad supports so it gets cold air all the time.
Gamb113 might be asking about putting the fans in push or pull on the rads though?
