Hi, I'm looking to make a new case design/layout and need help with compatibility, airflow suggestions, and whatever else. I'm looking to use an in win 303 with a 360 rad at the top, either the fractal design Celsius s36 or the thermal take water 3.0. I was then gonna put the Nzxt Aer RGB fans on the rad so they shine through the tempered glass and look badass. I know the 303 has weird airflow and a negative pressure layout will work best I thibk,  but since I will have 3 extra fans idk where to put them. Also, my GPU is a galax gtx 1080 exoc sniper, and since it's not a blower I would have to install fans on the bottom and idk if I can. Please help! Idk where to put them or if they'll even work, like if I should put intake on the bottom, but I think they might interfere with some Mobo cables. Idk I'm bad at this help

The In Win 303 allows 3 fans to be mounted to the bottom.  Position them for intake so they draw cool air from beneath and assist with the natural rising path of warm air.  Mount them after you've connected your motherboard cables, and everything will fit fine.

 

The 3 radiator fans on top will exhaust the air from the motherboard chamber and blow out the other side of the case.  Since radiators are restrictive for airflow, you my also want to have a rear exhaust fan to balance the exhaust with the intake.

@stealth80 uses the same case. You could probably ask him

Use the 360 AIO in the top as you described. Use the 3 fans you have left as intake in bottom of the case. Im a pure water build and had to mod my case with a 120mm fan in the front to get some airflow through the case
