Comparted to the Aer P 120s the AIO includes, you are losing static pressure and airflow, for a slightly quieter with RGB fan. If your like corsair, they have the LL120 RGB LED...

    [SOLVED] AIO CPU Cooler Mounting in Case

    I would advise placing radiator on front with fans pulling into the case (intake). That would give better airflow for your gpu. Top intake is normally a bad idea, the hot air from the gpu wants to rise, so you create odd airflow. The front fans pull most of the air before it can cycle the the...
