I just got my first AIO (MasterLiquid ML360L V2) im wondering where to put it. Intake/exhaust, Top/Front. I hope someone could give me advice. My case is the Darkflash DLX21 Mesh.
Right now, ive placed my fans exhaust in the back side and top, intake in the side and front.
For the aio, i still dont know where to put it.

My system is:
Ryzen 5 5600x
ROG B550 A Gaming
Gigabyte eagle RTX 3060 TI
1TB HDD
512 GB SSD (sata)
512 GB SSD (M.2)
Corsair RM650 80+ Gold PSU
*If there are other 360mm aio that is better and under USD$150, you can also suggest that :)

Solution
You're pretty much stuck with a top mount(exhaust), not that it's necessarily a bad thing.
360mm and up AIOs aren't very flexible, so your options were limited from the get-go.
