Silverstone RL06- 120mm AIO at the top possible?

[Tiffanysinyee]

Hi

 

I want to ask about a fairly low-profile case by Silverstone, the Redline RL06.

 

I have a 120mm H60 AIO cooler, and I want to know if anyone has the experience of fitting one at the top of the case, given the offset, would that interfere with the motherboard say if I place it near to the front panel position?

 

Thanks for your reply in advance!

Problem will be hitting the motherboard's VRM heatsink, if the radiator can clear that it should be fine

How about I place it towards the front panel, not near the rear, it's a 120mm not a 240mm? Would that be possible?

 

I tried to search for information about this, Silverstone official Tech Spec merely says the thickness of the radiator is less than 30mm which is weird. Obviously it doesn't include the fan.

if the tubing is long enough

they dont know what board you're using, so that's largely just speculation on their part

I'm sure it is long enough, Corsair does it pretty well for the last few years.

As a matter of fact, I notice that there are offset, just like the Meshify C, so it should provide sufficient clearance for the AIO(fan + radiator).

 

I obtained this screenshot from a video of the RL06. Judging by the eyes, there should be enough room for a 52mm AIO, what you reckon?

I would lean towards it should fit at the top given you're using Low Profile Memory (Like Corsair Vengeance LPX) and a motherboard with a not very aggressive CPU heatsink (in terms of height) but it's hard to say, especially given thier message:

 

** For 120mm / 240mm radiators and fans, total thickness may not exceed 30mm depending on motherboard component clearance

That is what I thought too.  For Asus Rog Strix motherboard, their VRM heat sink is not very tall. Playing safe, the cooler can be located more towards the front panel, the trouble is I can't really tell just from a photo or a video.  If someone has had the experience that would be more useful.

Linus, would you do a review of this case/?
