Nope its not going to help at all. Will worsen temps since your rad will end up circulating hot air only.

Your better off having that be an exhaust fan because heat rises and that will help cool the whole system even though your water loop will be a tab bit warmer (Not noticeable enough to matter though)

That looks like a terrible idea.
Like chip94 said you'll probably just end up circulating hot air.

Not going to make a difference at all. You may end up making the VRM's run hotten, increasing case temps.
Just run the setup as exhaust(top) and you'll be good.

This argument/rule does not apply to forced-air cooling systems e.g. most PC setups.
