Let us also not forget that it's easier to get the warm air to rise, not to fall. Use the top as an outlet and put every other fan in the system as an intake. The CPU will be cool and you won't be keeping your GPU and PSU in an environment where the ambient temperature is >50 degrees whenever you put some load on the machine.

I was just saying that if there was no airflow over the motherboard, And actually quite a few people use the h100i as intake and have very good results. The thing is the fans on the h100i are based off the SP120 so they will do there best pushing air thought a radiator, IU would honestly recommend getting two noctuas and putting them on top of the rad. and pulling air through it and out of the case. Because some testing I have seen indicates this should give some of the best cooling result. But I personally haven't done any of the testing, so the most through way is just try a couple different fans and placements.

If you want to go cheap, a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo and Corsair's H60 could sustain a (very) light overclock. If you want something more, a Kraken X40 is a great AIO cooler and should fit your needs perfectly.

Yeah. Performance can vary significantly depending on your case especially for air coolers, but Kraken X40 is always a good value. And, well, so is the H60 and Hyper 212 Evo if all you're doing is a light overclock.
