Hey guys, I was looking to get some thoughts and recommendations on what you guys think would be the ideal fan/rad placement. Case is a Lian Li 011 Dynamic XL. 

 

Currently I have a 360mm Side Intake for the CPU. 

3 120mm Bottom Intakes (Including Rad for a GPU)

1 120 Back Exhaust (Rad for a GPU)

Top currently has no fans. (Lost my screws for fans, but might just buy some new ones)

 

What do you guys think of this current setup? Is there anything I can do differently to improve? Thanks in advance!

Once you add the fans at the top it will be pretty much perfect for this case. Right now there is quite a lot of positive pressure. Although, since both of your main heat producing components are water cooled, this isn't that big of an issue.

 

When you add the top fans, the CPU temp likely won't change, and the GPU by a few degrees.

The more I learn, the more I realise I don't actually know anything. 

 

Recommendations: Lian Li 205m (sleek, pretty decent airflow for a non-mesh front panel and cheap), i5-10400f (Ryzen 5 3600 performance, 20% cheaper), Arctic P14 PWM fans, Logitech g305.

Best temps = intake on rads -> better fans -> better thermalpaste
