radiator

I've gotten some good feedback on this on Reddit, but I'd like to see what this community thinks as well. TLDR: Is it worth it to do push/pull on an AIO rad when not using high static pressure fans and the rad is the only case intake? OP: Ok, so: I'll be moving from a Dark Base 700 to a...

I am using a Fractal Design Define 7 case with a 280mm front-mounted intake radiator and I am putting an optical drive in the case. That leaves me two options for front mounting the radiator. I can rest it on the bottom as the manual shows. That leaves a gap on top between the optical drive...

I recently bought the Nzxt Kraken x73 360mm Radiator... it comes with 3 fans. My case has already 3 fans in the front (really cool rgb fans) which means I would aim to do a push/pull config. The only problem is that I'm not sure if my case (Sharkoon TG6 rgb) fits all three of the fans on the...

Hi All, I'm currently running a custom water cooling loop with a 360 rad, that is only cooling my CPU (i7-6700k). My current GPU (GTX 1080) is air cooled. I will be getting an RTX card (probably 3080, maybe 3090 if the stars align and budgets can be met), and when it finally releases, I may...

View: https://imgur.com/a/ZRkHLGF Links to images above... I punctured my Arctic Freezer II 360 cooler because my dumb@ss screwed in the wrong screw. The water lines are not punctured but then again I haven't started the system and do some extensive testing to see if it's leaking. Would a...

Hello all. I recently bought a Corsair iCUE 465X RGB Mid-Tower Black ATX Case along with some other parts including a Corsair H115i 280mm CPU cooler. Now in the specs on the Corsair website and also on the vendor I bought from it says that this case supports 280mm radiators. However, as it turns...

I have only the option of 240mm radiator as my case supports only 240mm and i am planning to setup a new build with ryzen 9 3900x(Confirmed) or ryzen 9 3950x(MAY BE!! In future) should I go for 240mm radiator? OR I should go for be quiet's dark rock pro 4(air cooler)? but I am not sure whether...

Hello! I'm having a hard time deciding on the airflow of the my case. So, first of all my case (TD 500 MESH) can handle 360mm top and front Radiator. Im torn between putting my radiator on top or at the front. My questions are if I placed them at the top with an exhaust, wont the fan only be...

Hey Guys, I am building a new PC very soon (just waiting for Ampere to release) and am having trouble deciding on my CPU cooler, so I was hoping for a good recommendation. I will be cooling a 10900K inside a Phanteks P500A. I would prefer to use an AIO as I like the look. It doesn't have to...

Just wondering what is ideal for a 360mm AIO. Currently looking at using the Coolermaster MasterLiquid ML360R unless someone recommends anything else. If I mounted top I would have the fans exhausting and if front they would be intake obviously. Also, would be mounted in a Phanteks P500A FYI...

I have a case with 3 pre installed fans on the front and im pointing an exauhst fan in the back. My question is that I have a 240mm aio cooler coming in and Im not sure if I should place it on top. I want good cooling for both cpu and gpu heres a link to the case...

Hi so i have a fractual design focus g case and following pcpartpickers, it recommended the corsair icue h100i rgb pro xt.l 240mm... so i bought it... it doesn’t fit the top too wide tried to slightly bend the optical drive area to fit but i cant? And i accidentally screwed some of the coils...

So i have a EK Xe 360 and I'm wondering if I can do push pull with different fans. The radiator will be at the bottom of my o11-xl with my 3 Riing trio high static pressure fans on top pushing and 3 Noctua NF-F12 at the bottom pulling. Riing trio fans rpm are 500 ~ 1500 and Nf-f12 doing 300 ~...

First things first, sorry for the long post but I don't want to just confuse people by not giving enough information since all loops are different. Now let me share with you my specs, my watercooling parts and some photos of the loop configuration: View: https://imgur.com/gallery/kZTjzVM...

EDIT: Sorry this was supposed to be in 'Cooling' but I clicked the wrong thing. I'm currently designing a liquid-cooled Ncase M1 and I'm wondering how much space a radiator needs on either side. basically, if my setup is Fans, radiator, GPU, how much space would I need in between the radiator...

Hello people on the forum, I come to you today with a question specific to my build. I have never water cooled any of my computers and would like to start harvesting it’s benefits on my desktop. I would like to overclock my CPU a reasonable amount therefore cooling is needed to balance the...

TL;DR - I need recommendation for how many (2 or 3) and which rads (GTS, SR2, etc.) to use with an O11D XL case with noise level a main concern (3900X & 2080ti or next gen equivalent). I've built a few PC's but I am planning to do my first water cooled build later this year (probably after RTX...

I purchased a Corsair Liquid Cooling AIO 240MM. However, there isn't enough clearance at the top of my case so I have to put it in the front. I have a mesh front and I want the RGB fans to be visible from the outside but there is only one panel to screw in the fans AND the radiator. Therefore, I...

hello, i am building my first water-cooling loop and i am having trouble finding distilled water, for some reason its especially hard to find in the UK, would it be possible to flush my rads with tap water as i am using EK premixed coolant with anti corrosives in anyway? or do i need to buy some...

Hello Currently, I am finishing my build on my PC but I am concerned with my radiators. The fans were preinstalled to the case, but I have not gotten the opportunity to actually unscrew the cover for either fan. In my case, I have four unplugged in wires. Two of them are 3-pins while the other...

Hi, I have i9 9900KF cpu and eventualy I found out that my COOLER MASTER HYPER 212 BLACK EDITION is not enough to keep my cpu on low temperature when I push it hard. I bought myself COOLER MASTER ML360 liquid cooling system. This will be my first build with water cooling and I have few...

I’m upgrading my current case and motherboard to an NZXT H510 Elite case. I currently use a 240mm AIO with a push configuration. In the new case there is two 140mm Pre-installed fans at the front. I believe the NZXT case comes with a easy installation type bracket at front for AIO’s which has...

To mount fans to the radiator, I know that you use the included long screws to install the fan onto the radiator then, use the small screws that come with the radiator to mount it to the PC through the holes on the opposite side of where you installed the fans. This is for when you want to mount...

Hi guys. Most sincere salutes from Turkey. I'm just new to PC building staff. Well not to the PC but to building it myself. I'd like to know more about the best placement of the 240mm AIO into the Cooler Master H500 case. In this video I've just happen to watch on YouTube, he just installed it...

Hey guys! I’m doing my first build soon and couldn’t find an answer to this question anywhere! So I will be installing the Kraken x62 as an intake (fans -> radiator -> case) so the 2 140mm fans will be pulling through the radiator. I was wondering if I set up 2 120mm fans as exhaust (top and...

I'm not very well versed on push/pull/intake/exhaust/fans/aio etc. so I'm looking for a simple setup for my new build. The front of the case has mesh with no dust filter, and three stock 120mm rgb fans that I think are set to intake. I'll stick with these. Other than that there is room for one...

Hey guys, bought an H115 Pro and am having trouble finding a case that will let me do a top mount set up. I am fine doing a push set up for it, does not need to be a push/pull. My budget is around $150-$200. So far I have found this -...

My brother wanted to know if it was possible to use 120 mm fans on a 360 mm radiator. He also wanted to know if Corsair fans would work on an Thermaltake radiator. Since I have to study for a big test, can you guys tell me so I can tell him? Thanks in advance.

My computer turned off randomly about a week ago. After turning it back on it was showing that my cpu temp was high. It showed my fan speed was not working. I just decided to get a whole new radiator and fan to install. After installation there is no changes the temperature is high I took off...

My plan are making sffpc with using 240mm aio. But i change the fan with xt140 who have 120mm mounting holes. Is it possible to do that? or i should use 280mm radiator instead? *If it possible is there any difference in performance?

Hello , I have placed my fans like this build image They are behind the radiator and the radiator come s in the front , also the fans are pulling air inside through the radiator into the case , is this configuration okay? I’m worried that here’s gonna be more dust on the radiator since it’s the...

Hello, I am using a front mounted radiator in pull configuration so the air flows thorugh the radiator and goes into the case but I have mounted the fans behind the radiator and not the front ? Is this okay? I mean they are still pulling air but they are not in the front of the radiator they are...

I'm going to get either a 360mm aio for my CPU and mount it in the "side"/front of the lian li pc011 dynamic, or a 240mm aio for the CPU and then a 120mm hybrid all for my evga rtx 2080... Question is, if I do the 240 aio for the CPU, and the 120mm aio for the GPU, can they be both mounted in...

Hello, I’m currently in the works of rebuilding my PC into the Cooler Master SL600M. Everything was going great until I realized my cpu cooler could not fit in the case. I use a Kraken x62 and the top 280 radiator just doesn’t have enough clearance with the board (the fans technically don’t)...

I have a Corsair H60 (2013 version) cooler in my computer and the CPU is an AMD FX8350 running at stock frequency. It's a pretty old rig I built it back in early 2015 and the CPU never overheated so I didn't really worry about temps. However, a few days ago I noticed that both of the cooler's...

I am building a pc and have checked everything for compatibility but was unable to find if the radiator for the cooler I was going to use would fit in the case. The case and cooler are listed below along with a link to the build on PCPartPicker Any feedback would be appreciated Case: NZXT...

Hi If I use the case SilverStone RL06 PRO, which comes with three red LED fans installed in the front, and I wanted to install a 240mm radiator on the front along with one of the included fans, can I mount the other two included fans on the radiator or should I buy two static pressure 120mm fans...

Hey, So basically I have gone a little.. well very very far on not changing my loop. I have a custom "Open loop" design in my pc and I have not changed the coolant in well over 3 years. My first time owning a liquid cooled pc, and honestly it just slipped my mind. Long story short I'm...
