Yes, it would be flow rate probably. I would like to learn more about airflow in cases myself. I am sure it's simple science, but my degrees are not in the hard sciences lol Yes. That is why I am rolling with it. I calculated the shipping and thought, "damn it. I am just going to keep it or...

They seem short to me. Companies darn well know the sizes of many cases so one would think they could make the tubes a bit longer for larger AIOs so more mounting options are available. Unless there is some efficeny thing that ets in the way of making the tubes longer. I imagine they can't be...

A thought came to mind as I was driving, and I wanted to ask your opinion. I started doing research on the diminishing returns of larger AIOs. Given the temperature differences I am seeing in tests, I wonder why manufacturers bother making 360 and 420 sizes at all. Are the benchmark tests...

Yeah, it probably is a bit of a gimmick. Despite that they have a good reputation and product. I see on the 420 that the tubes seem short. I haven't looked at the splitter, but I assume it's the same as other splitters and uses a master/slave. 4 and 3 pin thing. Yeah on the elite a push/pull...

Thanks. Those were my general picks as well for the most part. I haven't looked into Alphacool much.

So what is the best 280mm AIO currently in your opinion?

In essence, you are saying that 280 is about the optimal size for fitting most cases and cooling since larger rads do not offer more cooling. And yeah, the FPI on the arctic is supposed to be higher I believe and that should mean it is louder. Not sure I have seen that in reviews.

Yeah, there is no recovery media that came with it. I would need to check downloads on HP's website if they have those.

Yeah, I might pick a bit on the "same" airflow. The bios and fan curves do not know the CFM and static pressure of my fans. It is trying to achieve the same temperatures no matter the fan size. Thank you for the information on temperature control. Yes, I went into my bios and set curves and...

Yes, 420 IS big. And I know that. I have issues lol I really do. Let me try and explain and this is the short version of the long story (Unless you want to hear what got me to this point in the first place.) I had a Thermaltake 240 ARGB AIO that I was going to use for a different project. I...

Maybe. With the AIO I now have the two 120 fans as intake on the radiator and one 120 below it as intake. Before I moved it from the top, I had 3 140MM fans in front as intake. In theory, they should have put in more air than the 120s do. But perhaps since then are intake and running faster...

Yeah, I don't think I am going to try out overclocking things any time soon. And if I did it would be on my next build and I would tinker with a different PC in case I break something. lol I am well within specs. Just testing temps with a 240 AIO front mount my GPU is actually running cooler...

oooh sorry. lol Yes, yes, I did mean my personal memory and not in the PC. Given the context, I can see the confusion. I should have been clearer. I apologize.

Thank you. That was my assessment. I just wanted to verify to make sure since I couldn't find the original information I read. What do you think about the situation of a 420 mm front-mounted when the case has a power supply shroud? I need to fix the wires in there so it's less of a rat's ness...

I didn't mention a memory failure specifically. Not sure what you mean there.
