Question Best cooling solution!

[Wolfman1983]

Hello folks, I am looing for the best cooling solution for my i9 13900KF. The current case I have got is a Fractal Design Torrent Mid Tower, so I am looking for the cooling to fit that case. Thank you in advanced for any suggestions and help.

Well I currently got a AIO like that, NZXT Kraken 360 but it will not fit in the Fractal Design Torrent case. No 360 AIO will fit in that case with the parts I got. As I also got a Asus Strix OC 4090 and Asus ROG Gaming Wifi-E motherboard.

According to the specs page, it should...

Torrent

Built to maximize cooling potential straight out of the box, the Torrent comes with a brand-new component layout and two custom-made 180 x 38 mm Dynamic PWM / Prisma RGB fans. The Torrent is a perfect fit for anyone serious about high-end cooling – with or without a custom water loop.

GPU max length: 461 mm total, 423 mm with front fan mounted

Most AIO radiators are 27-30mm thick, so it should still fit with the 358mm long Strix 4090.


Is this the Torrent COMPACT instead? Because both Torrent and Compact are stated as mid towers...

 

[Wolfman1983]

No it is a standard torrent, and a 360 AIO will not fit either at the bottom and certainly not at the top as the case has a lip on it.

It should fit at the front though?
The only radiators that are even an option at the bottom are custom liquid and Alphacool AIOs(due to the viewing window).

The case is designed for air coolers.
The front 180mm intake fans will move a ton of air through an air cooler, but also over the motherboard vrm and gpu coolers.

The case allows 188mm air coolers and one such is displayed in the stock photos.
About the best large air cooler around is the noctua NH-D15.
If you have tall ram heat spreaders, the next best that will fit is the nh-D15s.

Actually, the 13900K does nicely with less than top end cooling.

The Core i9-13900K can push even the most capable liquid coolers to their limits, but you don’t lose that much performance if you go with budget-priced air cooling.

Unlike normal cases, the torrent has fresh air intake from the bottom. So as long as the GPU can fit with front mounted rads, i wouldnt worry too much about it.
