Hey everyone! I've decided to rebuild my PC, and I could use some advice on my airflow setup. Here's what I've planned for the build: I'm using a Corsair 5000x case with three intake fans at the front, a 9800x3d plus a Corsair Titan 360 for exhaust at the top, an MSI 5090 Suprim Liquid exhaust on the side panel, and a single RX120 MAX out the rear. I've shared a rough drawing of my layout and a link to my PC parts list for your reference. What do you think? Will this setup work well thermally? Thanks for your input!

Your drawing is actually pretty good! It sounds like it'll work thermally, but you might run into some issues with negative pressure in the case since you'll have more fans exhausting air than bringing it in. This could lead to dust getting in from any gaps since air will flow in from everywhere, especially unfiltered areas. If you can, consider having one of the AIOs pull air in instead. It might slightly affect cooling, but it'll help reduce dust buildup.
Thanks for the insight! I’m definitely more concerned about making sure my 5090 stays cool rather than dust buildup.
