Question for Radiator Placement

[1ntegerByt3s]

Hello, hope y'all have a nice day. Today, I'm trying to figure out where I could place my radiator (first time I bought an AIO) (bought the Cooler Master ML240L V2 RGB). Originally, I wanted to put it on the top, but unfortunately the VRM and RAM sticks are preventing it (with/out the radiator fans), so that leaves me no choice but to mount it to the front of the chassis?

 

Y'see, I have three pre-installed fans at the front of the case (Rosewill T500 Prism). If I were to mount it at the front, could I perhaps do a pull-push config so that I don't have to remove the fans or what's your suggestion? There's a gap between the fans and the tempered glass. Your help is appreciated.

Front with push/pull will give you the best temperatures possible.
Tubes down for less noise and better longevity of the cooler is preferred. 

 

Avoid having the CPUblock/Pump-unit over the highest point of the Radiator

Thanks. So, when you way "push/pull", are you referring to either of them or the actual push-pull config? Are the removal of the pre-installed fans necessary if I could mount the radiator on them?

Ok get a new case!  u can:

remove 2 screws from each fan that ur going to mount the rad to(diagonally), 

Place the rad without any fans on and line ut up with the fans,

take 2 long screws for the rad and place them where u took the screws out

screw them in

So, am I abandoning the radiator fans that came with it?

So, does the radiator fans face the radiator or the opposite?

Alright, so radiator.

 

I think that's all it. Thank you so much for the help, man. Any other tips when it comes to AIOs?

Dustoff air on a box and blow out the dust sometimes, nothing special
