My 3090 ftw3 Hybrid is in a Thermaltake View71 (it's a nice case), the best place for it is up top with a push/pull setup blowing the hot air out, I've got 2x140 at the front and 2x140mm at the bottom pulling fresh air in and 1x140 as exhaust, there is still room for your other radiator at the side.
The downside to the small 240 Hybrid radiator is if you have a large monitor and like to play at 180+ fps. I had to limit my fps to 120 on my G9 monitor for the heat in the room was unbearable from such a small radiator, with fps capped at 120 my Hybrid is in the 40's and maxes out at 55ish, if I go to 240hz and cap it at 230 then you can add 15 onto those temps (but the heat!).
After buying the 3090 ftw ultra Gaming air model and then upgrading it with the Hybrid Kit I finally realise that these things need to be in a water cooled loop, so I've purchased a Corsair 1000d and my Optimus ftw3 block arrives on Monday, other parts to this new build arrive daily with the exception of my fans which have still not arrived at the shop I purchased them from. If you plan to play on a large high hz monitor then make a water cool loop with decent sized radiators.
