Hello guys, I am building my pc next week and I wanted some advice regarding the ideal Fan setup.
I am going to build in a Be Quiet 500dx case which comes with 3 fans 140mm be quiet 2 ( 1top, 1 rear, 1 front), also my cpu Cooler will be a corsair i115 platinum 280mm. So I am thinking of putting the AIO on front intake and move the front fan to the top as exhaust. Só my ideal setup is : AIO front intake (2x140mm), 2 top as exhaust, 1 rear as exhaust. Would this be fine? Or do you guys recomend another setup? Also my gpu is a open shroud one.
Thanks in advance.

Case: be quiet 500dx
Cpu: ryzen 7 3700x
Ram:3600mhz cl16 tridentz
Cooler: corsair i115 platinum 280mm
Gpu : gtx 1070ti msi gaming 8gb
Psu: seasonic focus 80+ gold 750w
 
Solution
Experiment.

Negative pressure:
Front intake: 280mm AIO
Rear exhaust: 1x 120/140mm
Top exhaust: 2x 120/140mm

Positive pressure:
Front intake: 280mm AIO + 2x 140mm as push-pull
Rear exhaust: 1x 120/140mm
Top exhaust: 1x 120/140mm

Positive pressure(alt):
Front intake: 280mm AIO + 2x 140mm as push-pull
Rear exhaust: 1x 120/140mm - fan speed set to low or lowest possible
Top exhaust: 2x 120/140mm - fan speed set to low or lowest possible

Thanks for the info, I'll give it a try when I have all the pieces. Just one thing, when you mean "280mm AIO + 2x 140mm as push-pull " you mean that I have to put two fans on each side of the radiator right? Thanks
