In general, intake at the front, outtake at the back, at the top and bottom you can choose, but I would do intake If the case has filters there, outtake if it doesn't.

 

Would probably put CPU AIO at the top of the case and GPU AIO at the front, as that is shorter distance if you have both.

(If you only had one radiator I would put it at the front no matter what it is for)

Quick question:

I have ASUS TUF Gaming GT501 case and I'm upgrading to RTX3080ti Asus LC (AIO 2x140mm fans) and NZXT Kraken Z53 240mm CPU cooler (AIO). I'm seeking advice on how to possition the flow direction of both the coolers. Thanks for your tips in advance!

Trash overpriced pos aio, liquid freezer 360 will demolish that thing whilst being much cheaper, or if you really want a high performance 240mm go for an h100i platinum or whatever those things were called, not the best value but performs very well for its size

 

 

Fan config wise, cpu aio up top, gpu aio in the front, extra intake fan at the back
