Hi so Im putting together a watercooled build in the Lian li o11 dynamic. Im using the gigabyte waterforce z390  and the gigabyte 2080ti wb (this one:https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Graphics-Card/GV-N208TAORUSX-WB-11GC#kf)                          I plan on using 2 radiators on the top and side because i cant put one on the bottom due to space issues. The problem im running into is that i want to be able to see the front of the fans on the side mount. Which means i would be exhausting thru the radiator. The other problem is that I would need another intake, but the thing is, where would i put it? If i put the intake on the bottom i would be exhausting thru the top and side. Both radiators would be getting exhausted thru, how badly would that hurt thermals? Or i could intake thru the top and exhaust thru the bottom but i feel like that would just work against convection. Pls help guys

Thats pretty much optimal for air-flow. Bottom intake and exhaust all the heat.

so its ok to exhaust thru the radiators? i dont see how the water would cool cuz you're blowing hot air from the case into the radiator.

If everything is waterblocked, what is there left in the case to heat up the air inside it? All the heat has been moved from the components to the chassis peripheries (the radiators) what sense does it make to send that heat back into the case when you can exhaust it directly out.
