i have a bitfenix prodigy and was curious to see if i have the air flow setup right.

 
It looks as though you have good airflow into the chassis and you are exhausting it efficiently.

What were you thinking about doing differently?

just got me curious since i been seeing different setups with the h100 whether its pushing air from outside the case or from inside
 
Your set up is almost exactly the same as the one I had for my prodigy, except I had 2 SSD's mounted in the side panel tray though, which only improved airflow from the front fan. And I never had ANY temp/airflow issues at all.

what gpu were you running and what side panel? i think my gpu isnt getting much air flow due to being so close to the clear side panel

I used an MSI Radeon R9/270x which came with the OEM Twin Frozer cooler & the vented side panel. The GPU temps rarely went over 35c loaded/22c idle :)

Never had any issues with air flow/ side panel clearances....
 
That's how I always route my case flow: Front to back, bottom to top.

Sure, you could get a bit better temps on your H100 if you routed cool air into it vice warmer internal case air, but if your doing that at the expense of your overall case flow I'd question the benefit (as opposed to say, moving the radiator to the front of the case where it would get cooler air instead of the top).
 
I will be moving the components to a corsair 350d thos afternoon
