Which direction should I instal my CPU heatsink fans? Noctua + TJ07

Some facts first-

My mobo is in this orientation-

My case in similar orientation looks like this-

The 2x60cm fans at the back draw air in. The 2x12cm fans at the top draw air out. On the front of the case I have added a 12cm fan that draws air out too.

On the ram I have installed Corsair ram cooling fan-

My PSU fan is this Noctua-

I can install cpu fan in two possible directions....

Direction A) Back of the case to front of the case.
So cold air from back of the case > CPU > Hot air from CPU > top and front of the case.
Probably will have some strange thing happening when hot air meet the turbulence created by Ram cooling fans?


Direction B) Bottom of the case to top of the case.
Not sure how that will work. Will it be better?
