AIO Placement

[davelenham]

Hi,

I have the Lian Li Lancool 2 case and the ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 240 AIO.

Where would be the best to put the AIO and in which configuration?

Best for what, CPU temps? CPU temps then you'd want it at the front as an intake, but that would increase GPU and system temps.

CPU temps ideally. This is what I have ordered
My basket at overclockers uk:

• 1 x Lian-Li Lancool II ARGB Midi-Tower Case - Black= £82.99
• 1 x Gigabyte Radeon RX 5700 XT Gaming OC 8GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £419.99
• 1 x AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Eight Core 4.4GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail= £289.99
• 1 x MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX (Socket AM4) DDR4 ATX Motherboard= £129.95
• 1 x Arctic Liquid Freezer II High Performance CPU Water Cooler - 240mm= £79.99

This is my 1st time using an AIO as the CPU cooler and also having to consider the placement of fans for cooling. As the case comes with 3 120mm fans was thinking of using 1 as an exhaust fan at the rear and the other 2 up top as intake. Any recommendations would be helpful!!

It seems to be the popular choice of having 3 fans at the front. Looks like I am gonna need to buy another fan to be used as the rear exhaust and use the 3 Lian Li fans provided with the case in the front.
So going on all of the comments setup should be
3 x 120mm fans at front for intake
AIO up to with fans set up as exhaust (which it appears to have come prebuilt as that)
1 x 120mm fan at the rear for exhaust
