The GPU is a Gigabyte 3070.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

the case ax 90 of antec

Since the case comes with 3x120mm fans in the front set to intake and 1x120mm fan set to exhaust, place the Arctic Liquid Freezer II on the top set to exhaust.

Thank you for the fast respond ! should the tubes come down from the left side or the right side and i would love to know opnions if this is enough cooling for an 78003xd and an rtx3070 should i add a fan on the side inside

and another question rn i have an i7 9700k i wana upgrade either to 78003DX I7 13700K or i7 14000f . Which upgrade should i go with ? how is intel doing these days

You could always just read the manual and see the visuals which show the tubes towards the front of the top of the case:

hey im getting a ryzan 78003xd and an Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360 in the case ax 90 of antec my gpu is 3070 gigabiyte where and how i should put the aio front/top how the tubs wll go

​

This is general rule, For best CPU cooling, front mounted radiator with push or pull fan placement but to draw fresh air in. That may raise case temperature by few degrees so if you have problems with case and GPU cooling , radiator should go to top of the case as exhaust with fans in push or pull placement. In your case because that AIO is even more powerful than needed,I would opt for top mount,that way it picks less dust.
Just a word of caution, that AIO has radiator+fans thicker by 6mm than most and MB may prevent it to mount there.
