Just got my CLC 240 Water Cooler yesterday and have it hooked up. Was wondering what configuration is best suited for optimum cooling. Currently I have it configured to push in cool air from the outside through the radiator. I had to switch the fans to the other side of how it comes set up. Only problem I fear is that the then exhausted hot air is getting pushed through the case over my graphics card. Is there much more of a difference if it was set up to push air from the case to the radiator to cool it? Just curious to how others might have this set up. Here is a picture of how I have mine set up.

    Many like the configuration you have because the air that hits the radiator is cool.  I don't think the air would be that hot coming from the radiator.  Just make sure you have good exhaust set up to keep the air moving all the time.  I set mine up on top to suck the air out of my case as part of the exhaust system.  Read tons of articles and watched videos and consensus is that either configuration will work fine.  There is no real difference between pull air in or push out.

    @endlesswaltz hey sorry for necroing a 2 year old thread but I am getting my first AIO the 240mm CLC. I was wondering how did you put the fans first to the case and then the rad to the fans? Did you use the screws that came with the Fans or did you have buy longer screws? I want to mount mine the same way.
     
    Again sorry for necroing a 2 year old thread lol please forgive me.
