I have a Corsair 5000D Airflow case and at the moment i have a 280mm AIO cooling the CPU mounted at the top as exhaust. I'm planning to swap with a 360mm AIO(Corsair h150i cappelix) and mount it as intake on the side of the case. So the complete layout of my case will be:
Front-3×120mm Corsair ML120 intake
Side- 360mm AIO intake
Top-3×120mm Corsair ML120 exhaust
Back-1×120 Corsair ML120 exhaust
Will this be a good setup? or the side AIO intake with the 3 intake fans in the front cause more problems beeing so close together?

intake with radiator and going through the case, then you use hot air for your other components?

might do decent cooling anyways and not much of a concern depending on load. Else having it as exhaust, were the top of a case can often be a decent choice but not always the best cases for such a layout. Corsair RGB for days.

 

Also having the CPU pump being higher or about the middle of the radiator.

Just stay with the 280mm AiO. There is not much more to gain with a 360 one. Your 280mm AiO is already in the optimal position anyways.

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.

The reason for swapping is purely aesthetic (there is a lot of empty space at the top of the case with a 280mm). The 280 AIO i have now also has a push/pull config, but the fans aren't installed correctly, the 2 at the bottom are controlled with the the iCUE software and the other 2 on the top in the BIOS, so they spin at different speeds...i didn't do the build myself...
