Fractal North Fan Configuration

[Cosmic_Panda]

I am busy researching and planning on building a PC. I have gotten so far as to knowing almost exactly what I will be acquiring, but am stuck on a couple things. I wanted to get a 360mm radiator for the front, but that limited the GPU choices to pretty much the Gigabyte 7800XT Gaming OC. Almost all other GPU options have a clearance issue with a front radiator. I am now actually thinking of going with the XFX 7900GRE, if I do not decide with something from the new RDNA4 launch.
 

I went through a couple of cooling configurations, and am thinking the current best, would be to go with a side-mounted 280mm radiator (in the top-most spot), to ensure all the clearance for whichever GPU. In the included diagram, I have a possible fan configuration that might ensure efficient cool airflow throughout the components, with a positive air pressure, as dust is quite a problem where I live.
 

My only real concern is that all the hot air from the CPU/GPU goes to the top of the case, onto all the slightly more delicate components (memory/VRMs etc.). Will those components get adequate cooling?

If anyone has feedback for an alternative fan configuration, I would love to hear it.

What cpu do you have that you need an aio? The north is a air cooler focused case after all.

 

The stock fan config is basically the best option.

I am probably going to get the Ryzen 9 9900X, but might go for the Ryzen 7 7800X3D instead. Still debating about that.

I can also go with a 240mm radiator in the top, but unsure if that will be enough cooling. I do live in a high average temperature country and at a high altitude (nearly 1500m), so I really don't want to go with something that will barely keep the CPU temps under control.
