I am planning to buy a kraken g10 and a kraken x41 or maybe a corsair h90 for my r9 290x bf4 edition. But does the fan for the water cooler have to be in the back of a case or is it ok on the top?

The placement of the radiator is completely up to you and the length of hose is there. Ideally you want the radiator to have air pulled in from the cases exterior, so a spot where you would have an intake fan, not a exhaust fan. (air within the case is warmer then the ambient room temp, normally).

My canned rant on liquid cooling:
------------------------start of rant-------------------
You buy a liquid cooler to be able to extract an extra multiplier or two out of your OC.
How much do you really need?
I do not much like all in one liquid coolers when a good air cooler like a Noctua NH-D15 or phanteks can do the job just as well.
A liquid cooler will be expensive, noisy, less reliable, and will not cool any better
in a well ventilated case.
Liquid cooling is really air cooling, it just puts the heat exchange in a different place.
The orientation of the radiator will cause a problem.
If you orient it to take in cool air from the outside, you will cool the cpu better, but the hot air then circulates inside the case heating up the graphics card and motherboard.
If you orient it to exhaust(which I think is better) , then your cpu cooling will be less effective because it uses pre heated case air.
And... I have read too many tales of woe when a liquid cooler leaks.
google "H100 leak"
-----------------------end of rant--------------------------

I suggest a noctua nh-D15 or phanteks with dual 140mm fans.
Your pc will be quieter, more reliable, and will be cooled equally well

Though I am not disagreeing with you, you make valid points. But you are downplaying liquid cooling a bit. I got and addtional 1.2GHz out of my 4770 with the H100i. Speaking of which, I love btw, never had a problem with it. And besides the fact that any product will have defective units. Not to mention Corsair's amazing warranty, they will replace any damaged components by a unmoddified H100i leak. H100i is my choice.

But i think this question was mainly about positioning and not brands or cooling methods.

You really need to read the OP before going off on a pointless rant. OP is using a CLC on a graphics card with the Kraken G10 bracket, which is a worthwhile endeavor for hot-running cards like Hawaii. The only relevant sentence you posted was about the fan orientation.

I already have four 120mm case fans. Two in front, one on top and one in the back. My case: Bitfenix Shinobi only allows two 140mm fans in it and those are both on the top of the case. So would you still recommend a air cooler over a liquid water cooler?

I say liquid cooling all the way. If your advanced then a custom loop is for you, if you are new to the idea nab a closed loop system like the H100i. I have the H100i and not counting the 120mm fans on the radiator I have 5 additional 120mm fans. Noise inst an issue for me even tho its much quieter then you'd think. I say the more cooling the better as long as you are aware of air flow and air pressure in the case.

The H100i also uses 120mm fans but yes I'd use both if you have the space.

In my canned rant, I explain the dilemma a liquid cooler user has as to how best to orient the radiator.
My preference would be to expel the hot air out.

The op is silent on what cpu is being used and how much cooling is actually needed.
While a liquid cooler can dissipate cpu heat more effectively, it is rarely needed.
Once you raise your vcore sufficiently to get a really top overclock, you are getting into the realm of dangerous 24/7 operation.
With haswell, for instance, it does not take heroic cooling to oc up to a safe vcore limit of say 1.30v.
Instead of spending $100 on a cpu cooler to get a couple of extra ghz, I think it would be better to spend the extra $100 to buy a i7-4790K over a 4690K in the first place.

Heat problems for the OP begin with the R9-290X, not the cpu. A very hot card.
Better to spend some budget on good case cooling.

Liquid cooling is fashionable. If one wants to showcase a build, fine.
It is also good for the enthusiast who simply wants to push things to the max.
If you are simply a user or gamer, not so necessary.
Liquid cooling may also be good in a small form factor case where there is no room for a normal tower type air cooler.

I have 4 case fans. What do you mean with even better case cooling?

I do not think that there is space in my case, the Bitfenix Shinobi for the double 120mm fans from the h100i.
So do you have any other suggestions with only one 120 or 140mm fan?

It looks to me like your case can handle two intake fans in front.
120mm at least, and possibly 140mm.
Look at the intake area of the fans on your graphics card, add that to the intake area of a tower cooler, and you will see that only two 120mm fans will supply enough air to cool your parts. two 140mm fans are better, they push more air at a given rpm. What fans you install for exhaust are helper fans that direct the airflow towards the intakes of your graphics card and your cpu cooler.

Adding more or stronger fans will increase the noise in your pc. If you always use headphones, that is not a negative.
If you don't, then you must balance cooling vs. noise. There is no right or wrong absolute answer there.

Fans are not hard to change. try different ways and see how you do.

Does anybody know if there also would fit a h80i in the top of my case?
If it would fit would it then be a good idea to use one h80i togethers with the kraken g10 for the gpu and the otter h80i for the CPU?
My original CPU-cooler is the scythe katana 3 pwm.
Or what du you Think about the noctua nh-d14? Not sure if it fits though.

I read H100i for some reason you had asked about the H80i so i answered about the H100i.
But yeah I can answer your question, you wouldn't have a problem affixing the H80i to the top of the Bitfenix Shinobi case. there are holes to accompany 120mm fans to the top, up to 2x 120mm or 2x140mm. not sure if you will have room for a push/pull config as it might interfere with the motherboard components, you might have to go with a push or pull config, they same the same efficiency-wise, but push/pull is better if you can fit it.

I have just seen that the g10 isn't combatible with the h80i. So I can not use it for my graphics card. So I will probably go with the h90 or kraken x41. But do you know if the noctua nh-d14 would still fit in my case even with a now h90 or kraken x41 in the back?

Well you can run the H-220 it's the 120mm version... Has the same water-block which is one of the best in the industry, and the pump is the same the only difference is the RAD and fans...

They will sell them at the same place as the 240...

The Noctua it very large. you'll probably have only just enough room for a fan on the back let alone a fan and radiator. possibly the Noctua will allow you to place the H90 at the top, if it all reaches of course.

Sorry but I do think that it will still not fit. I need a single 120mm or a single 140 mm system to fit it into my case.
I am thinking about the kraken x41 together with the g10.

Then probably also the 10mm thicker x41 will fit in it. Ok thank you for the help. I am pretty sure that I will go with the kraken g10 and kraken x41 and if it fits with the noctua nh-d14.
But hopefully my last questions: is it hard to replace the stock coolers on both my gpu and cup? And I am pretty sure that I need longer water pipes for the kraken x41, any recommendations?

It's easy to replace CPU coolers. Youtube must haave hundreds of video showing how to.
replacing GPU coolers are a bit more tricky. id try to find a tutorial on your specific GPU.
You Never want to try to alter a closed loop system system. like the H90 or Kracken especially if you arent well versed in liquid cooling, its just not a good idea. if its not long enough then a custom loop may be the only option or figure out a different configuration.

I am really sorry. But I have to ask you one more thing before I pick one of your answers as soulution.
My problem is that the only place in my case to put 140mm fans is in the top. But if I put the kraken x41 there I am pretty sure that the pipes of it wouldn't reach all the way down and around my graphics card.
What should I do? Should I just get a even smaller 120mm cooler and put it in the back of my case? Wouldn't that almost be too less cooling power for the r9 290x? Or what would you do?

the rear of your case looks like it will accompany both 140mm and 120mm fans

No only 120 and 90. And I have the feeling that the 60mm thick x41 wouldn't have fitted at the top either. So would a 120mm cooler do the job or what should I do?

ok i see, i was hard to tell by pictures. Unless you want to run a custom loop to reach from the GPU to the top of the case, id get something with a 120mm fan so you can use the rear.

I hope the corsair h80i is good enough. But I probably have to use it with only one fan, because I do not have enough space for it with two. Or if I can and it wouldn't be a too bad idea I could maybe put the h80i on the rear outside of my case and then I could use it with both fans. Thanks once again for the help.
I also got recommended the arctic accelerato hybrid II. but not sure if it is any good.

I just looked at all the measurements and this fits the case top mounted

H220-X CPU Liquid Cooling Kit at 247mm x 126mm x 115mm

case top mount is 205 x 460 can fit 2 x 140mm or 2 x 120mm

You can see in this build they have a dual 120mm RAD for custom loop system.
