Kraken G12 in a Lian Li PC-O11D placement

[Circa Survivor]

I plan on cooling my 1080 Armor OC with a Kraken G12 once I get my Lian Li Dynamic. I plan on using a corsair 240 rad to cool it, and I want to put it on the bottom of the case with the fans setup as intake, and also having 3 120mm fans on the side as intake. Is there any downside to this placement or is there a better placement I should use?

Well other than the fans facing.... down... *badum tiss*

 

Puns aside, there's no drawback to using the bottom fans as intake for the rad. You can pretty much use any of the available spaces as intake since all the fan slots are filtered; whichever looks best to you. Just dont out your PC on the floor, A case like the O11D deserves to be shown off

Thanks for the reply! Also thought about using an MSI frozr CPU cooler, with 3 intakes on side, 3 exhaust on top, and also turning the GPU rad fans on the bottom to exhaust. Seems like the airflow should have a smooth path because of the side intakes.

 

EDIT: Nevermind the Core Frozr L won't work for me. So instead of that I'll most likely put a 280mm cpu rad on the top as exhaust.
