Dual AIO setup

stlwrx · January 1, 2019

Happy New Year's All,

I recently moved my setup into a new Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic Chassis. It's a i9-9900k cooled by a Corsair h115i Pro and the 1080ti is cooled by a NZXT g12 bracket and a Kraken x52. Currently, I have the cpu rad exhaust in the top and the kraken as front side intake for the gpu. Temps are great but I always like to tinker and get better. Could I run both setups as intake bringing cool air into the case since both are water cooled? Would this cause pressure issues? Pic for attention

ideally you want a radiator to exhaust the hot air out of the case. when air passes through a radiator heat is transferred into it, and this hot air is something you don't want in your system.

in your case this wouldn't really work tough as you'd just have all exhaust, which creates low pressure inside the case and will eventually increase dust building up in your PC.

basically, i would say you have your fans set up pretty much optimal already. maybe adding in a 3rd intake fan somewhere to get a slight overpressure would be even better. (if all intakes are filtered dust buildup with overpressure is very minimal)

Hey, @stlwrx

I have the exact same idea for my next pc built, double AIO, and it's exactly what you have made :D
Is it possible to have some close pictures ? to have a better idea of what is going on in this beast
I want to install 2 NZXT Kraken X72 (not sure), one on top, one on the back but im not sure if it fits :/
+ fans under GPU

Perhaps an intake fan on the bottom of the case for your GPU VRMs will help, you can search for a low profile one in order to not mess up with cables plugged to the bottom of your motherboard.

Kind of why I went for the Li PC-O11 Air instead of that one.. more fan or rad mounting options..

I guess you could fit some intake fans on the bottom and change the rad fans on the graphics card to pull out of the case.. but not sure if you could fit them at the bottom with the graphics card mounted like that.
