Question Cooling 3000d with 240 AIO ?

[Iestyn]

Hi I'm building in a 300d with a 7600 and 7800xt. The case has 3 120mm intake on the front and i have a 240 AIO on the top, the idea being that this PC can be upgraded in the future so alongside the AOI it also has a 1000w PSU. My question is whether to exhaust or intake through the AIO which is mounted on top. the front of the case and the top have mesh filter so i thought to have positive pressure i would intake through the front and AIO and have the rear exhaust running slightly faster than those intakes, the 7800xt is a Geforce WF so there are 3 fans which again are exhausting air being supplied by the lower front intake. Intake from the front then the AIO, GPU and rear fan exhausting seems like a lot to me, unless maybe i run the front fans a bit faster than the AIO and Rear exhaust? I usually set up a fan curve on my GPU so it ramps up as temps rise. Any thoughts would be welcome, thank you.

If the AIO mount is at the top, you set it to exhaust. Have the fans in the front set to intake. Since the case can support a 280mm radiator at the top, I'd look into a 280mm AIO.

Mind sharing a link/specs to your build?
