Hello guys, I want to change from my current pc case(inwin 901/heatbox) to the Corsair 250D. The current parts I have:

GPU: GTX 690 4GB - Upgrading to gtx 1070 soon
CPU: i5-4690k
MOBO: ASROCK z97-e
PSU: Coolermaster v 850w
RAM: 2x4gb corsair dominator
HDD: Seagate 1TB and Samsung SSD 120GB
AIO: Corsair H80i
Monitor: XL2411 144HZ

My question is how and where is the best place to mount the H80i radiator, do I need fans on both sides. Thanks for any suggestions :D

I have a Lepa 120 Aquacharger in my 250D. I had to put it on the right side front position with a slim fan pushing though it. I might be able to push/pull with 2 slim fans but with the opt drive tray it'd be tight. It's been fine for over 1 yr this way. The Lepa is similar in size although I can't judge the flexibility of the corsair hoses, that was really the deciding factor in where mine went.

If you have a non-blower style GPU the right side may be your only option as in my case the rad/fan would be to thick to fit on the left next to a GPU with exposed fans.

The only true case fan I have is a 200mm up front pushing air in, I slowed it down for noise reasons but I have no temp problems at all. There's a steady but quiet warm flow...

There's a steady but quiet warm flow out the back, where 2 80mm (I think) could probably fit. This is not a powerful gaming rig however, just a GTX960 and a AMD A10-7850K
