Planning on using g12+aio on my gpu

[chalypsie]

Case: Fractal Design Define Mini C
Cpu Cooler: Nocuta NH-D15S
GPU: Asus Strix GTX 1070 Ti
2x 120m fans in front intake
1x 120m fan rear exhaust

Wondering what Aio should I get and where to put it. Wont change CPU cooler so rear and top placement for Aio isn't possible. If I get 240/280 rad Aio to front, can it cause problems for CPU cooler? Or is small Aio placed to down corner only possible with my gpu?

What do you need an AIO for if you are keeping your cpu cooler?
I am confused why you want one, are you saying you want an AIO for gpu?

Yes going to use aio on gpu with Kraken g12 bracket. Have only heard positive things about it, way cooler and less noise (ofc depending on aio+rad fans).

Well in that case, you can put it almost anywhere, as long as there is some free flow in, it's all good.

So If I get Kraken x42 or so for example and put it in front at bottom as possible (maybe remove psu cover plate aswell), single 120mm/140mm fan on top front for intake. This will be good setup? Or maybe if possible place rad on bottom takin air from floor?

That should still work. It isn't ideal but you will only know once you have done it.
There is normally sufficient space around the bottom to suck in the air you need.
