I've just taken a look at that case... (CyberPowerPC FURION Mid-Tower Gaming Case). I'd change it, personally.

Tempered glass on all sides including front and top? Seems like one of those 'blingy' cases that hasn't really taken thermals into account. It looks nice, but I'd imagine your system is going to be running pretty warm.

Thanks

Just don't mount the radiator on the bottom of your case (with the pump/CPU block as the highest physical point of the loop) if you have the option, because if the pump ends up being full of air, there is a greater chance of failure as pumps aren't capable of handling air.

From best to worst, these are possible ways to mount the radiator in terms of AIO lifespan and noise:

1. Top of your case, as exhaust
2. Front of your case, as intake (with the tubes at the bottom, not compatible with all builds for various reasons)
3. Front of your case, as intake (with the tubes at the top)
4. Bottom of your case, as intake (could easily kill the pump much sooner than 5 years)

Thank you for your input. It's a pre-built so hopefully they'll mount it properly, otherwise if this isn't too difficult I'll look into changing it upon arrival.

I've already ordered it but i'll look into changing it do you have a preferred option around that price point or what materials should I be looking for?

Pre-built OEMs and SIs almost always put it on the front or top.

Cooler Master NR600 is a very good case for thermals and it looks decent. Doesn't cost that much either. If you get a 360mm AIO though, it'll only fit on the front of the case in the NR600. Not sure about CyberpowerPC's garbage cases.
