[SOLVED] Can I put a Radiator anywhere?

[David3290321]

Hi, I'm experienced building computers but I want to get a old case (Rosewell Thor V2) and I want to cool the gpu (980 Ti) with a kraken g12. On the side there is a 230mm fan but you can put 4 120mm fans. Wondering if I can put a radiator for a AIO on 2 of the 120mm slots for fans and another one on the other 2. Can I put a Radiator wherever a fan can go on these old cases?

Check width. Check depth. Check that the hoses will sit the way you need them to not to trap air.

Typical AIO use the standard mount holes for the same fan size.

Thanks I was thinking that I have really united depth because I'm mounting them on the side of the case haha. This might be the weird pc build ever lol. (Thor V2, 5600X, 980 Ti, 32Gb DDR4 3600mhz). I wanted the case n white but black will work, you can find the oldest cases on newegg, the Rosewell Thor V2 is literally 9 years old.

your going to have a hard time removing the side panel if you mount the radiator to it........ Ask me how i know

Well yeah I bet lol, how?

soft tubes and had to prop the side panel up when i took it off. With the shorter and little less flexible tubes on the AIO cooler it will be harder to remove the side panel and prop it up somewhere . You can always give it a try but just have a plan B if it doesn't work.

This is one of my older computers
i7 950 @ 4.6Ghz 4.9Ghz during the winter
Asus rampage 3 extreme with MB water block
2 GTX zotac GTX 480's @ 907/1814/2410
Mushkin blackline 12GB CL6

Ran 3 loops, one for cpu, MB, and both gpus. MB rand on a DangerDen blackice slim 240mm radiator CPU and GPU's ran on DnagerDen black ice extreme 480mm radiators with push pull with Scythe Ultra Kaze fans 3000rpm @ 133.6 CFM. In total i had 23 Scythe fans and the computer sounded like a jet engine when running.
