Top exhaust is easy to install and hard to go wrong with since the case fans are preinstalled as front intake.

What is the best spot to put a DeepCool LT520 240mm Liquid Cooler 4th Gen Dual-Chamber Pump in a NZXT H6 Flow RGB Mid-Tower Airflow Case?

You can put it on the side, which will give the best temps and, if you can put the rad tubes down, it'll give a little bit better temps. The fans should be on intake. The reason for best temps is you're cooling the rad with fresh air from your room.

 

You can also put it on top as intake or exhaust. If it's on exhaust, the temps will likely be worse than intake because the case air is heated by everything inside and that air is what you're using to cool it. 

 

Either way, the tubes out of the block should be coming out of the top of possible. If you can't then out of the side. If the tubes are offset and on the side, orient the block to minimize air getting trapped inside. 

I've been using computers since around 1978, started learning programming in 1980 on Apple IIs, started learning about hardware in 1990, ran a BBS from 1990-95, built my first Windows PC around 2000, taught myself malware removal starting in 2005 (also learned on Bleeping Computer), learned web dev starting in 2017, and I think I can fill a thimble with all that knowledge. 😉 I'm not an expert, which is why I keep investigating the answers that others give to try and improve my knowledge, so feel free to double-check the advice I give.
