[HELP]Need help to check my planned watercooling setup

[d4rkst4r123]

As above,

the below setup can ?



Will putting the radiator in the 5.25 horizontally affect the temps ?

I dont think you can put a rad there.

You can still put it at the front fan intake.

Mount rad on the rear exhaust fan

Mount rad on the rear exhaust fan

ok, cause my radiator got mounting kit to mount in the 5.25 bay. But otherwise, if i change to placement of the radiator to the back exhaust, the rest would be fine right ?

 

[Alphas]

your front fan should be intake, and top fan should be intake to get positive pressure. The heat from the rad will be exhaust outside the case not inside if you mount on the 5.25 bay.

If ur using only a single 120...might as well get aio...unless ur planning wc other components. ..then get a open loop setup..

120mm or even thin 240mm would not be enough if you want to really overclock

Go calculate on raddage and ambience temp....before indulging in custom WC.....

Depends on his purpose lo... In that case maybe consider AIO because the cost is so much can buy a system... If its just for looks is it worth not haha
