Hello guys i have masterbox lite 5 rgb case and i have problem with tempratures cause it have really bad airflow in the fornt its hard for the air to pass in the case and in my country its really hot in the summer so i am planning to buy a AIO cooler is it better to buy a 240AIO or 280 and place it in the front where the air is hard to pass cause of the case or a 120 and place it in the rear of the case?

It's not going to fix the problem at all. The masterbox lite has such terrible airflow that with a 360mm rad in the front it is JUST enough to keep a cpu nice and cool. However the gpu will be even worse off. Best you can do is mod the case or get a new case.

Front of the case is always the worst place (performance-wise), to fit a radiator; however that only leaves room for a 120Mm rad on the rear mesh.

As above, this isnt a suitable case for trying to keep anything cool in a hot country; at least without extensive modding that will leave it looking a lot uglier.

Look for a case with a mesh top, so you can put a rad up there, the hot air is going to rise and help the fans blow it through the rad and out of the case.

There are even cases which are almost entirely mesh, however then the problem is the higher noise levels.

i have 2 pc the one i have nzxt kraken x52 and nzxt s340 and i placed it in the front and it does pretty well even in the summer in my town we have a really cold winter and hot summer i have ryzen 5 1400 i think i will go with a 120AIO cooler maybe it will drop my temp a bit for the summer

i have gtx 960 4gb ssc and it runs cool even in this case even the fans in most cases dont even spin but this case in the front has really bad airflow if i remove the front panel the cpu drops like 10 degrees thats why i ask if it is better to avoid a 240+ AIO cooler

Your aio is going to be chocked by the little gap for air too and will still struggle to cool the system. There simply is not enough fresh air coming in to keep the system cool.

so what if i buy a 120AIO and place it in the back of the case as intake and not exhaust?

Then the whole systems airflow will be even more ruined and your gtx 960 will start struggeling since you are creating a nearly completly closed box of heat then.
