[SOLVED] 240mm rear fans?

[Giltintur]

Hey Guys and Girls,

What cases have 240mm rear radiator options? My google-fu failed me.
I don't have any other requirement (yet) as I am in process of getting a fully new pc and I just want to find a non-top exhaust place for the 4090 suprim liquid x

Thank you!

Almost none (realistically)

What about side?

Or side, bottom, top?

So, if anyone needs one, I found a single one aside of the gigantic HAF700 or Obsidian 1000D

Sharkoon Rev 300. It is quite unusual, but ticks all my boxes.

There's plenty of cases with 240/280/360mm AIO capable exhausts. You've limited your criteria to a front-back orientation. Expanding on that to a bottom-top chimney, you'll find a far larger selection. Even in mITX form factor.

The single 80/92/120/140mm rear exhaust is a dinosaur left over from the ancient 1-piece U shaped lid AT towers and has very little real use in modern cases with top fan mounts except for the Air cooling Tower type cooler with fan exhaust directed in that particular direction.

3 fans at bottom, 3 fans on top, gpu heat rising, there's Zero requirements for fans to try and pull that natural thermal convection 90° Sideways.

3 fans at bottom, 3 fans on top, gpu heat rising, there's Zero requirements for fans to try and pull that natural thermal convection 90° Sideways.

And yet it's comically easy for fans to overcome this "heat rises" effect into a front-back direction.

There's also plenty of physical implementations where there's insufficient space above and/or below the case for good/efficient bottom-to-top airflow. Case on the floor with a desk top/drawer inches above the case? Floor is carpeted and not enough room above the case for a spacer?

Nice find! Sharkoon is less/not popular in the USA, which is why it didn't cross my mind. There are a few cases with that 90 degree rotation similar to the Sharkoon 300.

At the same time, I have asked a modder (Coldzero) to have a look at enabling the modding of the rear of the Lian-Li O11 XL, as it might just fit.
