Corsair 680x RGB Issues?

[EndoliteMatrix]

So. I just built out a Ryzen 9 3950x system. I got a Corsair 360mm RAD AIO. If you take a look at the pictures. I had to make quite a bit of compromise to make everything work.

 

Because of the height of the RAD, I had to mount the top fans on the opposite side that is recommended as to let the rad fit. This makes it so that I cannot use the dust filter on the top.

Because of the size of the RAD again, on the front, you can see there is like 0.5mm clearance from the graphics card to the rad. 

Because of the direction of the RGB effects. I am doing a pull, but with the fans on the outside... Unfortunately Corsair RGB fans only have the full visible effect on one side.

 

Curious about airflow as well, and welcome input.

 

As of right now:
Front: 360mm rad fans, intake. (3x 120mm)

Top: 2x 120mm Corsair LL RGB fans exhaust

Bottom: 2x Corsair standard fans exhaust

Rear: 1x Corsair LL RGB fan exhaust

 

Should I get a 280mm RAD instead and put it on the top?

 

If you have recommendations, I'll compromise aesthetics for better airflow. Temps seem pretty good. Non overclocked CPU is yielding around 39-45 degrees. Overclocked to 4.4GHz was around 49-52 degrees.

 

Graphics card is around 39-45. All of these temps are at idle.

 

Thanks for your time everyone!

Make the bottom 2 intake so that your gpu has some fresh air too instead of all that hot cpu air.

I currently have the Lian Li O11 dynamic xl, but I did have the 680X for a couple of weeks. When I did I have the 680X, My original idea was to mount the 240mm radiator up front. That didn't work unless I was willing to move the radiator down a bit as it block the top front fan. I just gave up and got a 280mm and mounted it on top. I ran with 3 intake fans front, 2 intake fans on the bottom. The 280mm fans and the back fan were all out. This method did keep my 2080ti FTW3 cool at 29C and the cpu were at 37-42C idle. 

I had to switch to the O11 because the 680X just barely fir the 2080ti ftw3 as I was planning to get the evga power link. I also swapped out the 2080ti ftw3 for the 2080ti XC2 to save $100, which was used to buy more fans for the O11.

Everyone seems to say the O11 is the way to go. I have just always loved Corsair Cases. I think I am past the return period, so I'll have to just deal for now, or get a 280mm rad setup and put it on top. I'll change my bottom fans to be an intake to get some cooler air to the CPU. But thank you @darkknight302. This was super helpful

@darkknight302 is yours the full tower or the mid? I can't tell.

 

Thanks again!

Thanks again!

The PC-O11D is Mid tower. The PC-O11D XL is Full tower. Darkknight is using the original version.
