Push pull configuration question

[MGWT1981]

Bought a corsair h150i elite cappelex cooler to pair with 12700k. I have the 5000d airflow case. Gonna use 6 Intakes, 1 back exhaust, and the aio. No overclocking. And I also game at ultra settings (as much as possible which is most games except maybe Cyberpunk 2077 and GoW), 4k, 60+ fps. Will this be enough to cool the 12700k? Or should I do a push pull config?

Do the push pull, 6 intake 1 exhaust is just a big positive pressure pot with no flow. 

What you want is flow, not pressure. So about even in and out. A little more in if you have an air filters. A little more out if you have a rad in the way.
I do 2 200 mm in front, 4 120 mm out (3 push thru the rad)

Thanks. With the current set up, I would have 6 120mm in, and 4 120mm out (with 3 out of the 4 being the AIO). Not sure if that would be considered even though. That is 720 in and 480 out. I could do 3 120mm in and 2 140mm in, making it a 640 in and 480 out ratio. What are your thoughts on that? Is it reasonable to say that if I get it "even," that this AIO can cool the 12700k? I know I am probably worrying too much but I have heard how much these suckers run hot. So just want to be better safe than sorry if that makes sense. I'll ditch the push pull config. I should mention my rad will be at the top of the case so it will not be in the way of the intake. Should I go with the 720-480 ratio, 640-480 ratio, or something else?

Thanks for the help.

Sorry I took my time coming back, 
A 640 in and 480 out is perfect. you'll get positive pressure, less dust in the case but still plenty of flow.

OK. So you would say 720 in and 480 out is too much positive pressure? In other words, I want some positive pressure, but not too much?

It will get pushed out of the vents anyways. Just try to have it flowing from front to back.

It should be fine
