Hi so i know (this being my first aio installation) that this can only be mounted in the front of this specific case and best use scenario is to have the pipes facing down on the radiator when mounted in the front, however what im not sure about is what exact configuration do i use to install this in the front of this specific case eg fans on the front of the case just under the grill/mesh and the radiator on the inside or same orientation but fans/radiator mounted inside the front of the case or is there a better preferred method ? THX
 
Not used that exact case
But think it comes with 3 x 140mm front fans?
So fans where they come installed under front grill/mesh
Radiator on the inside
May also be possible to fit both inside
Depending how much room there is
And length of gpu

The aio comes with 3x140mm already attached to the radiator and the case came with 3x140mm attached on the front, GPU length is not a problem in this case.
 
Few options
Leave installed phanteks 140mm
Take fans off AIO
and use the phanteks where they're installed
AIO inside

Or take out the phanteks fans
Put the AIO fans there
And AIO inside

Or move AIO fans to other side of the rad
Mount it inside with the phanteks fans still in place
Giving you 6 fans so push/pull
Though probably don't really get great benefit from push/pull
On thinner rad probably few degrees

Or move fans and AIO inside
That one would probably be worst option
