    Best Cooling Scenario


    Alright, I recently upgraded to RTX 3080 from 2070 Super so thought this is time to upgrade Case and cooling as I am running 9900k which needs bit of TLC.

    I ordered Lian Li PC-011 Dynamic which will be delivered on Friday along with Cooler Master ML360. So what is the best cooling scenario with this case.

    Shall I use AIO and side panel for intake and bottom for exhaust or AIO and bottom for intake and side panel for exhaust.

    I personally think second option is better as it will keep CPU and GPU run cooler cause air intake from top and bottom.

    Open to suggestions. Thanks

    I agree with @Dude I have always had better luck using all fans as intake except the read exhaust fan. Keeps positive air pressure in the case and cool air from outside coming in.

    Thanks for the response.

    I have seen two ways people mount AIO, one case>fan>cooler and second case>cooler>fan. What is the best way as I will first try to use top and bottom fans as intake and side for exhaust.

    I prefer your second option in your fist post, either option will accumulate lot of dust in your pc due to more intakes.
