Arctic 360 AIO in Fractal Meshify C worth it for 75euros?

[Tomazzk]

Since Meshify C can fit a 360 radiator in front I thought I could fit it in there, but since the last fan is pointing into the PSU shroud I thought I would lose some cooling performance from the AIO. Thoughts? Also since there are 3 fans in front I think I need to do 3 exhausts but the bottom least one actually doesn't blow that much into the case, then should I opt for 2 fans as exhausts instead?

Case picture for reference in attatchments. 

(also i didn't note that ill need a paste and maybe 2 fans)

As long the rad gets enough dose of air, doesn't really matter if the used air (after it went through your rad) goes into PSU shroud.

Everything else but the CPU will get somewhat less air, but it shouldn't be a problem if your rad fans is good enough

Me, i'd just use 2 exhaust first, 1 on top, 1 on the back.
If that doesn't seem to do enough job of exhausting, then I can just simply add another.

The case has good clearance from the ground. Have the front fans as all intake, and put one exhaust fan in the bottom and one at the back, should give plenty of clean flow through the chassis. Hot air won't build up in the PSU shroud if you have an exhaust fan there

Hmm, didn't thought about putting 1 exhaust at bottom front.
Good idea.
I guess, I really am too conventional sometimes

Putting an exhaust right next to an intake doesn't make any sense.

who knows, could be a good idea, not that I own a case with a shroud to test it xD

That's not how aero dynamics work.

When you put an exhaust right next to an intake the air from the intake will immediately get out through the exhaust without cooling anything.

I know man
I'm mostly a conventional person when it's about cooling a PC anyway.

If you have to stick a fan in the bottom, make it an intake.

Yes it does, the intake brings air directly over the radiator and the exhaust moves that air straight out of the case. The intake area of those two fans aren't very close to one another, so recycling hot air isn't a huge concern. It also helps keep hot air away from the power supply, which is of marginal impact but might prevent fan noise from the PSU. I use one very low speed fan in my own PC for this purpose, only pushes a little bit of hot air and prevents dust while not being very dominant in terms of changing the airflow within my case.

If there is a radiator at the front then yes it makes sense in that case.
