Just purchased the Corsair Hydro Series H115i and I want it to exhaust air from my case, is this the correct or recommended setup for the fans? Also looking to replace the stock fans with something better but with a red theme. Would the Corsair SP 120s be a solid choice? And is 120 the right size or should I be looking for 140s? Any fan recommendations with a red theme would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

typically you want the rads to pull in air from the coolest source.

most occasions the inside of the case is not the coolest source as heat can get trapped inside from the gpu's blowing out hot air.

i would always recommend users to have the rads pull air from the outside into the case, because nothing is cooler then outside air, unless that outside air happens to be right above the power supply.
