I am looking into a custom watercooling rig and I am curious about the fans on the radiators, should they be set to intake or exhaust?
 
Intake. Or you can get two fans and have intake on one side and exhaust on the other but I've never tried this and I hear the difference is slight.
 
The most overwhelming thought on this is to have the fan on the radiator PULL air through rather than push air through. Air turbulance is much less while pulling, and is much more efficienct than trying to force air through.

I have had both methods on my current radiator, and pulling has made a few degrees difference for the better:D

I run my setup like this, and it runs great. Especially nice when you have a rather airflow restrictive rad (like a heatercore), then you can get better cooling off two undervolted fans than from a single full voltage fan, at a lower noise level as well.
 
good question i just bought a heatercore and wondering the same thing.

I want to pull the air through
