what is the best air flow configuration with AIO for nzxt s340 elite?

first, thanks for clicking my post. and i am having some heating problems and trying to reduce inside temps..

in my opinion, the heated air coming from GPU ( around 75-80 with PUBG ) this heated air is going out through h100i v2's exhausting rad...

so i think...the reason of not enough cooled cpu temp (70~ on PUBG) is RAD can't cooling enough with that heated air which is from GPU... 

and it made me think about air flow.

 

so here is problems that i am thinking on

* cooling cpu with exhaust air

GPU heating inside air -> heated air cooling my CPU's RAD -> CPU can't cooled enough

* cooling cpu with intake air

get fresh cooling air with intake -> increasing inside temp(through RAD) -> GPU can't get enough cooling.

 

SO! yeah! adding one more AIO on GPU... but, how? where? RAD with intake? exhaust?

please consider and recommend me what is the best configuration for my system.

 

i5-7600k ( with h100i v2 or h80)

z170

MSI GTX1080 ( will get h55/g12 for gpu liquid cooling )

* with only slight OC

so which configuration is gonna be better? or any other configuration?

ya i hate the cooling of this case too,  i suggest you get a single fan AIO and put it at the top as exhaust like diagram 4.

 you mean single fan AIO for only CPU as exhaust at top. right?

diagram 4 is dipicting 240 AIO now. 120 AIO can handle that all cooling with heated inside air?

I have the same case temps are a hassle but I managed to get it nice

Cpu is r5 1600x stock

I got the h100i v2 set as intake running on quiet and 1x120mm & 1x140mm cryorig fans as exhaust running between 800&900rpm 

idle temp 23c cpuz stress temp 47c

oh! if you intaking air with h100iv2 at front, exactly same as diagram 4. do you know what is your stressed gpu's temp?

its only a few degrees warmer, its just that the intake of the s340 are terrible.
