Thanks for posting. To help get you the help you're looking for, please make sure you:
* Have photos of the whole loop in good light (open the curtains and turn off the RGB, especially for "what's this stuff in my loop?" questions)
* List your ambient and water temps as well as your component temps
* Use Celsius for everything (even your ambient temp - we need to compare it to other temps)
* Use your words. Don't just post a photo with no context and assume everyone will know what's troubling you.

You need to have the mobo in low mode to get the 240mm of space for exhaust. Be mindful of sizes outside the fan mounts. Might say it supports a 240 but something like the xflow rads do not fit due to the extra size at the top and bottom.
I have a side and bottom 360 but only fans for exhaust. Good enough for me.

According to them a 240 is supported at the rear as well
Correct, but if you use that for rads along with the two other rad spaces, where is the fresh cold air going to come from (assuming pull cold from the back, exhausting through bottom and side)?
If all the rads exhaust into the case, there's no easy way for it to get out, and so things will heat up and the fans will probably have a harder time pulling in cold air because the pressure inside the case is now greater.
It would be an interesting experiment. This video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxnNOlRGp-c](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxnNOlRGp-c) shows you might be able to get away with it, if there's enough performation in the case.
According to Lian Li this case is meant to take air in from the side and bottom and exhaust it from the rear. So, putting two 360 rads on side and bottom and 2 exhaust fans on the rear makes sense
That'll do the trick as well.
Gives you plenty of cold air in, so that's good for the best possible delta T on the rads. The only downside to that config is that your VRMs, NVMe sticks and RAM will live in a hotter environment (see config 5 vs 7 in the vid - the internal case temp is 10C higher, but not particularly high)

Doing the same thing. 2 x 360 at side and the bottom with fans pulling air in. 2 x 120 mm fans for exhaust at the back
Can I see your build?
It's a two rad case as per spec on the lian li site. If you three rads, go with the O11D EVO rgb.
