i have a massive case (h9 flow 2025)
I have an also massive aio (arctic 420mm liquid freezer iii)
Ive seen alot of people place big aios as intake in the side instead of being on the top? is thats better?
When i asked ai it told me its good to have it in the side but said dont do it if u mount ur gpu vertically even if its tiled for better air flow
So is he telling me the truth? mount it on the side as intake if i have my gpu mounted normally and have it on the top if vertically ?
if specs matter (still didnt build)
H9 flow 2025
9800x3d
arctic liquid freezer iii 420mm
either a 5070 ti or a 5080 depends on the best deal
(ill fill the case with as much fans as possible)

Is it rare to find someone to ship internationally in here?
And would paying w paypal G&s eliminate most of the risks of getting scammed
What would be a good deal on a “5080, 5070 ti, 5070” brand new or used
and is theres a sub for people that do micro center runs for others?

I been thinking of directly buying from sites like newegg and ship it to a freight forwarder, but most fees made me cringe, if any of you have some recommendations for those too id be very thankful :)

Any tips for international buyers would be appreciated
And if u have in of above gpus for a fair deal hmu!
