So after getting high temps in my h200i 2700x build with the stock Wraith prism cooler i decided to get an aio. With my build the only available mounting option was a 120mm rad and trying to keep with the clean rgb look i went with the nxzt m22 knowing it's subpar cooling performance. I was hoping my heat issue was more of a heat getting getting trapped around the cpu from the gpu and if i could direct it out it would be cooler. Turns out i'm getting slightly worse cooling performance then before. Now i am trying to mount one more fan on the back of the case so i can get increased airflow through the radiator but like some cases are the back is extruded so on top of the mounting screws no longer being long enough, even if i were to find correct length screws the fan would be rubbing or held in place by the back grill. Looking for any recommendations or creating ideas on how to solve my cooling issues.
The only thing i can think of is cutting the extruded grill out but it is a new case and i don't really want to start cutting it up already.
Couple of notes, the radiator does not fit in the front of the pc on either fan and i have tried the included nxzt static pressure fan that was included with the m22 and saw no difference in cooling.
