Thank you for the update.

Is there a significant temperature difference if I were to use the fans on the Hybrid as intake instead of exhaust?
I'm planning to grab 2 whenever it is available but the only fans I can replace for the radiators and fans are the 2 intakes I have in the front.
 
I was actually asking the wrong question. See below for clarification.
Sorry for the confusion.

I am not 100% sure I understand your question. If you are installing the radiator on the front, just keep them as intakes. If you install it on the top or back, set it as exhaust.

Sorry for the confusion. Let me reword it. Instead of having the fan behind the radiator to pull the air from the outside, does it make a difference if I were to place the fan infront of the radiator to pull the air.
Probably a simple question but I'm still relatively new to the desktop world.
 
FAN | RADIATOR | CASE | OUTSIDE AIR (Scenario 1)
RADIATOR | FAN | CASE | OUTSIDE AIR (Scenario 2)
 
Both scenario where fan is placed as intake.

No, that won't make much difference at all with normal fans. Either way will be fine and all up to preference of what you prefer.

Thank you very much for the explanation.
Is the ETA (this week or next) still good for Hybrids availability?
Planning to sell my GTX 980 ACX 2.0 to my buddy and pick up 2 of these soon.
 
Thanks again.

Honestly, I wouldn't know. The time lines seem to be very flexible currently. When they come into stock, they will sell quick, so you have to be on top of the F5 button to refresh in time to catch it.

With a single fan configuration, I believe you almost always want the fan to be pushing air through the radiator, not pulling it (this is where you hear push/pull, etc).
 
So in your case, the air should go through the fan first then through the radiator.

Off course much better cooling is when fan push AIR through fins in radiator...
That's much effective than pull heat from radiator. I think it's better for at least 70-80%.
In push-pull configuration second fan for pull hot air only help little for 2-3C, main role play pushing fan with high pressure.
