Radiator fan config

[Fenrir8080]

Hi my casing is Corsair Carbide 400C. I have a corsair H60 AIO cooler for my cpu with the radiator at the front of my case.
What would be the most optimal setup for this radiator fan? Should the fan pull air into the case? Or should it push air outside the case? Should i add two fans to the radiator (front and back)?

It should pull air from the outside if you are mounting to the front. Do not add fans on the other side.

Actual design is to be mounted on the top. Many YouTube videos.

Why not push pull? I thought it's better for the temps?

So it should be case>fan>radiator right?

Depends on your casing vent design. The Corsair video on the product website shows case>fan>radiator with the fan blowing out of the case, but the product pic is Fan -> Radiator -> Case.

Many others online mount it (and almost all watercooling) as Fan->Radiator-> Case with the fan blowing outwards, then use an RGB fan.

If you are mounting to the front (can the hoses reach?) then you will want the fan to intake.

Oh i see. Yeah the hose can reach.
