Most efficient cooling setup for 5000T + H150i ELITE LCD XT + 10 x AF120 fans in total?

[Pr4etoria]

Hello All!

I am new to the community, and to Corsair products as well 🥳

I am building a new PC with:

• One Corsair 5000T, as the case (including by default 3 x LL120 fans at the front, which I will replace by 3 x AF120 fans)
• One Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE LCD XT, as the CPU cooler (including 3 x AF120 fans)
• Additional 3 x AF120 fans, which I thought I would be mounting in the slot on the side of the case, close to the front fans.

Rest of the build is: AMD Ryzen 9 7950x3D + ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-A + Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090 GAMING OC 24G

Now I have watched this video here https://youtu.be/Aha7D5-ilQE?si=rLkVA9BGtsd6_Sdu&t=2890
and I am no longer sure about is the most efficient way (in term of cooling) of mounting all these fans in the 5000T case 🙂

Anyone would have any recommendation/advice/feedback or lessons learned about the following options below I have in mind?

	Option A (my first, maybe wrong, intuition)	Option B (following Corsair's recommendation in H150i guide)	Option C (inspired by the video linked above, here)
H150i's Heatsink	Top of the case	Top of the case	Side of the case
3 x Top fans	Exhaust	Intake	Exhaust (or only 2 fans? in case the rightmost one sinks too much air from the front)
3 x Front fans	Intake	Intake (?)	Intake
3 x Side fans	Intake	Exhaust (?)	Intake (following Corsair recommendation)
1 x Rear fan	Exhaust	Exhaust (?)	Exhaust

T hank you in advance, I am wishing you all a nice day ! ❤️
