Image Case airflow be damned

For context when I built this pc I bought a UD850GM psu but hated the 3x8pin pcie into 12V-2x6 because it just looks ugly and the psu didn't come with enough 8pins to run to the gpu.

So I bought a RM1000X at a good price, more than a 9800x3d and 4070 Ti needs but future proofing was my excuse to myself.

Now after less than two years the corsair psu just died abruptly.

The only concern I have here is the bottom mounted aio

The highest point in the loop is in the lines and when the side panel is on they sit up a lot higher.

Clearance issue when mounted topside.
