The two fans at the front, works as intake, their highest speed is 1100 RPM, while the fan at the rear, works as exhaust, can go up to ~2200 RPM. Assuming CFM rating for all three are the same & combined with H100 stock fans, works as exhaust, there will be negative pressure inside the casing (exhaust: one at the rear & two at the top. intake: two at the front). The fans configuration provide direct airflow.
Both negative & positive pressure have pros & cons. The cons for negative pressure is dust gathered faster if you don't have dust filter.

I have the same setup in my 400R plus 2 side fans. I will see how this works out. Going to replace the corsair fans with some better ones in the next week or so.
