Is this a good way to mount an AIO?

[Fastfishy2]

Newbie to AIOs although I have fitted them to a friend's PC before.

I have good airflow in my case with a very capable exhaust fan so I have opted to top-mount my Corsair Nautilus 240 as an intake to keep my CPU temps totally independent of GPU temperatures. The front is already set up for high case airflow so I didn't want it going there and I have an entire empty removable rack at the top of the case for mounting radiators so I went with this approach.

I have two concerns:
1. Is this too much bend in those hoses? Should I flip the radiator so the tubes are toward the front of the case?
2. Are the hoses okay to be that close to the exhaust area for my 7900XT? The card rarely crosses the 70c mark, even in mid summer. But they are pretty much right in the exhaust airflow.

I'm cooling a 5800X3D by the way.

My guess is you are about to hear about two things you got backwards. Setting it up as exhaust and flipping things around so the hose is on other end. Guess because that is typical advice for a starting place to begin tuning airflow within the case.

For the sake of conversation, traditional setup would place AIO on front in two topmost spots as intake. If required you would relocate one of the displaced fans to top rear as exhaust. What is key here is approaching this as completely new cooling arrangement, which it is. You need to arrive at the best way to use what your case options allow.

[Which by the looks of it is $$$ $$$$ $$$ of 30mm industrial fans but I'm only predicting that someone is going to start spending your money without reading this far into my response.]

You're looking good. No reason to overthink this.
