    Bit different here as I am pushing hot air out of the case at the bottom as I felt that the rads would just be heating each other up if I pulled air into the case. I could be wrong of course, everyone seems to pull air in when mounting rads in the bottom, I guess I'll suck it and see and rip it apart and change them if I find its rubbish
    I've done builds with rads pulling in, out, shake it all about Everyone is so divided and everyone gets such different results depending on their build I figured I'd do what felt right in this case.

    If we pull air through the rads into the case you get a lot of hot air in between the radiators, plus the fans will will be blowing air against each other which is less efficient and more work. The air in the case also then gets hotter in turn heating the components, tubing and to a certain degree the radiators themselves and other parts.

    I don't think the air at the bottom of the case will be so hot, there isn't anything dumping hot air into that section of the case, and I can always add a 120mm quiet fan on the grill next to the PSU (probably with a filter) to provide more cool air.

    But as I said, if it all goes horribly wrong I can start again

    I think one of the most important things when watercooling is getting cool air for your radiators. What about having the 360 take in air and the 220 + PSU blowing it out? If you add a fan at the back beside the PSU, it will blow the hot air from the PSU back in the case.

    These are just my thoughts as I have the same case. Don't want to tell you how to do your build, just some thoughts.
