Hi everyone. I have a cooler master seidon v2 with the stock 120mm fan, and i added another fan that suck the air behind the radiator. I was thinking to switch the radiator from the back of the case to the front, so it cand suck fresh air from outside. Is it a good idea? But i also wanted to know if the fan Thermaltake riing 12 was a cood rgb fan for cooling cpu. Here are my system specs anyway: CPU i5-6600k 4,2 ghz oc GPU gtx 1070 RAM 1 x 8gb ddr4 (the other stick is coming) MOBO msi z170 sli PSU corsair 550w -
So I've purchased a H115iv2 cooler, and will be placing this at the very front of my case, but I'm confused about fan direction and air direction. I'll be placing this towards the front of the case, with the radiator closest the motherboard, but I'm confused as to whether I want the fans to draw air into the system, or to pull the air out of the radiator and push it out. Some help would be greatly appreciated! -
I am looking into buying a 1070 Hybrid cooled from EVGA, but i already have a H100I V2, does anyone have any pictures of their setups with 2 AIO radiators in one case? just want to see the aesthetics

Hello all! I'm finally purchasing my build piece by piece and i have some questions now. I posted on this forum months ago asking for some advice on radiator specs and people suggested that, for cooling both my CPU and GPU (both of which i want to heavily overclock for production purposes), I should use a 360mm radiator. That sounds great, it even gives me the option of cooling a second GPU! the problem is this: the NZXT S340 Elite. I like it. The only good place (seemingly) for a radiator in that case is in the front as the intake, which is what i wanted my radiator to be anyways. The problem is that it's limited to a 280mm rad! I feel like that's enough for an R7 1700 OC and a 1080 ti OC but I'm nervous. I'd also like to set up the radiator in the push/pull form since i hear that's the best one. What are the rules on the fans in a push/pull set up? Like RPM and the like. Build Plan (Tentative) CPU: Ryzen 7 1700 (heavy OC) GPU: 1080 TI (Heavy OC as well) MOBO: Asrock X370 Taichi RAM: 16GB (Will be 32 at some point) G.Skill Trident Z RGB 3200 rated PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 1000W Platinum Rated (Future Improvement oriented) Case: NZXT S340 Elite White (will change if i have to but i crave RGB and pretty things) OS: Windows 10 Pro Pump: Recommendation? Res: Moar Recommendations? Fans: EVEN MOAR RECOMMENDATIONS?! Thank you in advance to the LC Wizards of LTT!

So I have a corsair 100 case, I wanted to start getting into water cooling. The only place I could fit a 240mm radiator would be the front, but then I could only install a 120mm for that radiator in the front and one in the back. Or would two 120mm radiators(one front, one in the back) be better?

Hello everyone! I'm awaiting parts for my new build but am having some issues rationalizing the best case scenario with respect to cooling, and was hoping that somebody could provide some insight into this for me. The build: Phanteks P400S Tempered Glass Edition ASUS ROG STRIX Z270H Intel i5 7600K (plans to OC to 4.8Ghz @ 1.3V or lower if stable) Corsair H100i V2 (with stock SP120L fans) ASUS STRIX GTX 980 (plans to put a minor OC on the card) Will be using Corsair AF120 as case fans (have access to both performance and quiet editions) Background info: So with this case in particular it only supports radiator mounting in the front (with dust filters). The top of the case has room for 2x120mm or 2x140mm fans (both spots have separately removable covers and dust filters), as well as room for 1x120mm fan at the back of the case (no 140mm support there). The dilemma: I'm not sure if I should use the radiator as intake or exhaust, and how to configure the case fans based on that decision. If intake I should get better CPU temperatures but will dump that CPU heat inside of the case. I've heard mixed opinions on whether or not this would affect GPU temp much if at all, due to the GPU temps always being much higher than ambient case temp. Some people say otherwise and that GPU temps will suffer, so I'm not sure which is true. If radiator is exhausting out the front of the case CPU temps will be higher, and I feel like due to the design of the case there will be restricted airflow for air leaving the front of the case. But if the doomsdayers mentioned above are correct, this may help GPU temps. I think that I should use the front mounted radiator as intake, and don't believe that it will effect GPU temps much at all. If this is correct I am now faced with deciding how to exhaust air out of the case and maintain positive pressure. Would a single AF120 Performance Edition in the rear of the case be enough? Or, I could put use 2 AF120 Quiet Editions in it's place (one in the rear and the other using one of the top slots in the case, with the empty top slot blocked off). Additional: Also my plan is to run the H100i V2 pump off of the AIO header on the motherboard, and all fans (both radiator fans and whatever case fans I end up with) off of CPU_FAN and/or CPU_OPT. Is that a reasonable thing to do? I hope I was able to get my thoughts across clearly and that some people (hopefully someone else who is using this case with an AIO) can chime in with some advice. Thanks! -
Hello Everyone, I am planning on building a PC and unfortunately I encountered a Problem . I have a PC Case (link given below) which supports 120mm radiator at stop and 240mm radiator at the side. I plan on using the Corsair H100i V2 (link given below). As this radiator wont fit on top part of PC. I will have to install it on the side. Unfortunately there are three RGB fans on the side of the PC Case which I really dont want to move to the top , so is there a way to mount the radiator on top on RGB fans so I dont have to move my rgb fans to the top . Help would be appreciated.

I recently put together a custom water cooling loop (2 GPUs, CPU, 240mm and 360mm radiators). Because of the way my case is designed (Cooler Master - MasterCase Maker 5), I cannot attach the three 120mm front fans directly to the 360mm radiator. Instead, there is a metal mounting bracket in between the fans and the radiator, creating an air gap of about 5mm between the fans and the radiator. I noticed that there is much more air exhausting the 240mm rad at the top (where the fans are pressed against the radiator) than the 360mm rad at the front, and I suspect this is because of air being pushed around the radiator. Is there a product I can use to create a seal between the fans and the radiator (without resorting to something like duct tape)? Thanks in advance.

I'm currently running: i7-7700k MSI Z270 Gaming Pro Carbon Kraken X52 Phanteks Enthoo Luxe Tempered Glass My Kraken X52 has been struggling incredibly with cooling my 7700k even at stock, so I'm thinking of going to a custom loop so I can add my gpu to the loop later too. I've been thinking of getting a EK-CoolStream CE 420 (Triple) at the top of my case for now but I'm not entirely sure if it'll fit, according to the specs it should fit a 420mm rad but I just want to be sure. For this loop I'm also going to need a pump and res and I was thinking of getting the EK-XRES 100 SPC-60 MX PWM (incl. pump). Is there anywhere else I could mount one of the drive cages? Because I would like to keep my HDDs but I would also like the ability to mount my pump/res and be able to add another 240mm rad in the front of the case. I am completely open to other parts or ideas, right now my main focus is having everything fit without removing my hard drives

This is my case http://www.phanteks.com/Enthoo-Evolv-ITX.html I have a kraken x61 which I am planning in using to water cool the cpu. For my cooling settup I was thinking; 2 Noctua Nf P14 fans for intake (front) 1 Noctua Nf P14 fan for echaust (rear) https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002XISTXM/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A1H9NMCPZH97BO&psc=1 And the kraken x61 mounted ontop, blowing out of the case through the radiator. Let me know if you think this can be improved. Maybe there are different fans that can work better for this? Fan settup would have 2 exhaust (through radiator) and 1 rear exhaust. BTW the enthoo pro comes with a stock 200mm intake which I wasn't going to use. Thank you.

Hi! I'm in a bit of a rush because I was looking to get the cheapest computer case that supports 240mm radiators and found the Corsair Carbide 100r on newegg. It said it supported 240mm radiators on the specs shhet but i can't find a single picture where i can see one that is installed! (I got a Corsair h100i used for cheap and i wanted to put it in a also "cheap" case.) Thanks in advance for your help guys! -
I recently put all components into this define r3 i got from my dad. I was thinking of upgrading motherboard, cpu, cpu cooler and ram. But knowing you can't actually put a radiator at the top inside of the case without having the fans on the top outside of it. I was wondering if i should remove the drive cages (Therefore possibly compromising structural integrity) and mod the 240/280 mm radiator into place at the front. Or if i should just forget about modding the case and just having a 140 mm radiator at the back of the case. I want you to know taking out the drive cages would be simple even though i have never modded any case, and i could surely find a way to mount the radiator. The only part i am worrying about is where to put the hdd, and how structurally safe the case is without any drive cages to keep it sturdy.

Hi guys, this is my first post (and PC build for that matter) so please excuse my mistakes. So here's the deal, I'm planning on building a PC using the s340 (red/black), I've decided to go with an AIO watercooler (Corsair H100iv2), which would go in the front of course, and then two case fans (CM Jetflos) in the remaining top and rear fan slots. Now I would like to have positive pressure ideally, however with the two fans on the rad being 75 or so CFM (the actual flow is probably lower as it has to push air through the rad) and the two other case fans being 95 CFM that would create a negative pressure situation if I'm not mistaken. Now this is where I need your expertise, I've thought about having the top case fan be intake as well so the the radiator fans would be intake, the top fan would be intake, and the rear fan would be exhaust. Now is this too much positive pressure or could it work? Open to all suggestions and thank you for taking the time to read my wordy question. Parts: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/xM9JkT

Hello there, TechTippers. Quick question of mine since I am doing a new build and opted for an AIO GPU (EVGA Hybrid 1080 FTW) and Corsairs H110i GT for the CPU AIO Cooler. (Bear with me, I'm new to the Liquid Cooling world. So yes I could have gone for an extended loop or custom loop but feared to do so.) Basically I want to know how I can position both of the rads w/ fans the best way for the most optimal temps and airflow in the case. If any of you could explain or do some sort of diagram of how it should be set up/configuration (push or pull etc.) that would be great. The case I will be using is the Phanteks Enthoo Luxe. I will be replacing the standard fan on the EVGA's AIO Cooler with an Corsair ML120, so I got more fans to work with and reposition. The case comes standard with an 200mm Intake-fan in the front, one exhaust in the back and one in the top. How would you set it up? Any help is appreciated! Thanks -
Hi everyone, I recently swapped out my Noctua NH-D14 for a corsair h110, its my first time dealing with AIO water cooling and I had a really hard time deciding the airflow in my case. Im currently running my system in a Sharkoon BW9000-W case with 2x 140mm front intake, 1x 120mm rear exhaust and my top as a 2x 140mm push intake configuration. Previously the top was occupied by 3x120mm exhaust fans. I have been running with very good temps in the Noctua system with gpu max temps of about 67 but after the swap to the rad, it jumped to about 72 deg under load. I was quite worried as there is simply way too many intake in the system (2x140 front and the push intake config for the h110). I only have one arctic F12 pwm fan acting as a rear exhaust fan and it doesent seem effective enough. I live in a relatively hot environment and temps are always a problem. I recently had a gpu fry in a really shitty case with bad airflow. I was wondering if the concept of push as a top fan intake is a bad idea and that I should be changing it to a pull exhaust. I wouldnt want to fry all my components just to keep the cpu cool. Alternatively, will it be better just to change the rear fan to a more powerful 120mm fan such as the AF-120 Corsair? I do not think the Arctic F12 pwm can really push the hot air in the case out efficiently enough. Noise level does not bother me much as the radiator runs really loud anyways. I use isolation earphones to curb the sound problem. The radiator was really difficult to install at the top due to the poor design of the case. Furthermore a front intake is impossible because of the irremovable bottom hard drive bays which make the front fans really inaccessible. I was thinking to change out of this case soon as i got it off a scrap sale for about 25usd. Any help on how to arrange the cooling configuration would be really helpful. intake/exhaust? push/pull?

I am planning on watercooling my PC and therefore would need some extra fans. I have narrowed it down to three; the ML120/ML140 fans from Corsair, the HD120 fans from Corsair, and the AER120/140 RGB fans from NZXT. I have written the pros and cons of each down below, so if you could help me choose or provide some insight, that would be great. Please keep in mind that I am also looking at getting a lighting controller and I much prefer the Hue+ over the Corsair Commander and the Lighting Node Pro. I will also need 7 fans for all my rads and an exhaust. I know that you can buy multiple of each lighting controller however, this is quite expensive and I am not sure if they will sync up with the lighting effects.ML120/140:Pros:Matches color scheme (red)Very quietHigh operating RPM rangeSP optimizedFan blade lightingCons:No lighting effects (big focus in my build)HD120:Pros:RGBCan sync to LED strips and other fans in the systemLighting effects (big focus in my build)SP optimizedDecent operating RPM rangeFan blade lightingCons:Looks a bit weirdHarsh LED lightingCorsair Commander necessary (I prefer the Hue+)Not enough fan slots on Corsair Commander for the amount that I need (could buy second Commander, but it very expensive)NZXT AER120/140 RGB:Pros:RGBLighting effects and uses preferred lighting controller (Hue+)Decent operating RPM rangeCan sync to LED strips and other fans in the systemVery smooth LED lightingCons:LED lighting is only on one sideLED lighting is not in the fan bladesAF optimizedA bit loudDoes not support enough fans for 4 LED strips and 7 fans.

Any one know what a good 240 mm radiator is ) pref red/red&black

I have recently contacted HardwareLabs about my problem with a 29mm thick fan on their 54mm thick NEMISIS GTX radiator. They say I need to use 33mm M4 screws. I cannot find 33mm. So I am asking: will a 35mm work and not puncture the radiator or do any damage? Thank you

I have been noticing frame drops on Rocket League and overall performance issues with my PC in the past few weeks. However, as nothing serious, just annoying, I mostly ignored it. However, recently, I looked over after being bothered by these and realized that my radiator fans were not spinning. I have no idea why (yes they are plugged in and have been since I bought the radiator). If anyone has any ideas that would be great. I have the Corsair H105. -
I have a male to male fitting stuck and overtightened on a 240mm radiator. Haven't tried wd40 but it hasn't worked in the past on other overtightened and stuck wc components of mine. My last resort is that I am going to buy an angle grinder from harbor freight and cut in half part of the top and hopefully it will be easier to take the fitting off so I can dispose of it and reuse my radiator.

Hello everyone and thank you for reading this. I have a question, I bought a 240 radiators and a 360 radiators. Unfortunately the 240 doesn't have any room for fans, should I keep it or return it. Please help I'm planning on using for my rendering PC It has a Asus rampage 10 edition and i7-6900 k Asus 1080 ti Poseidon. I want over clock them, so I can render faster. Thank you -
So I was just about to purchase a NH-D15 when I decided to go look at some more benchmarks of other coolers when I stumbled on a bunch of benchmarks comparing the two cooler s in my title above. The U14S is about $20 cheaper in Canada and in all the benchmarks that I watched it had lower temps in everything that has been done. Now I just don't understand how this is happening when the U14S has one less radiator and fan. Ples help

Have a Cryorig H5 Universal, but am getting 80 degrees with my 7700K in even the lowest ends of games, with every fan in my computer on full blast. Because of this, I'm thinking of getting a radiator instead. Here's the interior of my computer: I removed the front bays because I initially planned on getting a radiator, but then figured that air cooling would be enough. Fan at bottom blows upwards, grill fans are intake, rear fan is exhaust. My case is a Fractal Design R5 (no window). Let me know where I should put the radiator, which radiator you think I should get (and which fans, if I should get any for it), and anything else you might suggest for me. Thanks. <3

Hey guys im currently putting together parts for a custom build and i have been trying to perfect it for a little while and one of my last issues is the cooler. my pc will be using an i7-7700k overclocked up as high as i can get it. im not going with the full tube and reservoir set up and just want to use an AIO. My pc case is gona be the corsair crystal 570X (yes i know people will be recommending the meshify C, but please dont bother, ive made my mind up on the issue). the case supports a 360 radiator in the front. Due to my graphics card clearance, i can either put a 240mm AIO with a push pull configuration, or a 360mm on standard configuration. will one give me much higher overclocking headroom than the other? the AIOs i was debating between are NZXTs kraken series or corsairs AIO coolers. thanks for all help in advance
