What would you guys say the best airflow would be if I'm upgrading to a i5 12600k.
I can either go with a front mounted 360mm aio cooler, extracting. 2 top mounted 120mm fans also extracting and a rear 120mm fan pulling air in. The back of the case has a lot of ventilation holes for air to also be pulled in.
Or a 260mm top mounted aio cooler extracting with the front 3 120mm fans pulling in air and the back 120mm fan extracting.
The main problem I'm facing is my air cooled 3070 xc3 ultra chucks out so much heat its unreal. Currently I have to leave the glass side panel off but I think this is mainly because the 5 120mm fans I currently have are cheap crap that are the lower rpm type. I'm going to upgrade the fans.
Another thing I thought about is getting a glass panel made with vents or even a fan directly in front of the graphics card to extract the heat direct from the gpu out the side window.
What do you guys think please?
