Position of the CPU Cooler Plus Fans a Bit Loud

[Sizewell]

I received a new PC from PCS last week and quite happy with it but not sure about the position of the radiator/fans, plus the fans are a bit loud.
I have a Corsair ICUE 465X case which has 3 RGB fans at the front and the H100i Capellix radiator and 2 fans sitting behind the 3 front fans, so have 5 fans in total at the front. Plus 1 fan at the rear. I was expecting the H100i radiator/fans to be positioned at the top of the case (as seen in various Youtube videos of this case and cooling system type).
My question is: Is this fairly simple job to move the radiator/fans to the top of the case and would this setup make the fans any quieter. I currently have all the fans set to quiet.

Heya, would you be able to post your full spec from the order page?

Do you have RGB RAM? The Corsair RGB RAM is pretty tall meaning it conflicts with top mounting AIO's in a number of cases, the 465X being one of them. If you do, you could just move the AIO fans to the top of the case? This would give a more even airflow pattern. Moving the fans shouldn't be too trickly although with the meticulousness of PCS cable managment, it could take a little while.

I have edited my post and now contains all relevant specs.
No it's not RGB Ram. So you are saying move the 2 AIO fans to the top of the case and leave the radiator where it is ie behind the 3 front fans?

My apologies, just moving the front fans was in the situation of having the RGB RAM. It's interesting that they didn't top mount the AIO- I own a 275R Airflow (which uses the same chassis as the 465X) and have a top mounted 240mm AIO with Corsair LPX RAM. If you wanted to move your radiator to the top of the case too, it would indeed fit there. I don't think it'd do much to reduce noise although would give you a more balanced airflow pattern (3 intake, 3 exhaust).

you should be able to top mount with no RGB RAM, I've got the 465X with RGB RAM and moved the fans to the top, with the rad still front mounted

I managed to move the AIO fans/radiator to the top of case and sort out the fan noise. But when moving the fans, I unplugged the USB 3.2 gen header from the MB as it was in the way to unscrew the fans and now for the life of me cannot plug the USB gen socket back in. The socket is a female of solid smooth end with minute holes, but I just cannot align it up and plug back into the MB. I bought a small extension lead and can plug this end into the MB ok, but the original female socket is too thick to plug into the other end of the extension.
Anyone got any ideas as at the moment I have not got a front working USB slots.

If it's purely a noisy fan issue, have you (teaching granny to suck eggs etc) optimised the fans in bios! I did it it stopped the "omg it's trying to take off" effect.
