how to place PC fans inside the cabinet?

Question

I have 2 heavy duty fans installed inside the cabinet of my pc. both were placed in such a way that both of them throw air outside the cabinet. I however placed one in such a way that 1 brings air inside the cabinet and other  throws it out. so air can flow through the cabinet.
the one that brings air in, is to the back of the cabinet and the other that throws out is to the side of the cabinet parallel to the gpu fan. 
Is is ok to configure the fans the way I have?
or should I put the fans so both of them throw air out?
or should I set both of them to pull air inside the cabinet?

Hi Alron 
it is all a load of nonsense yes you do need to stop the processors of cooking themselves like the CPU which does need so form of cooling as it works at about 125 degrees C if it is air cooled .
the coolant types run slightly cooler at around 90 degrees C. the temperature is not really an issue as long as they don't get cooked.

totally wrong, that can make th eair flow directly from fan to fan leaving nothing to cool the machine. They MUST all pull air out to create a large volume of air rushing into the cabinet and past all the components. And the fans will actually warm the ai slightly as they pass it through, so your incoming air will not be as cold.

Fans should be placed  one to draw air in and the other to push the air out  to get a good cooling effect, mines are one in the front drawing air in the other in the back exhausting the warm air
