Custom AIO Help (please)

Hello. I am new to building PCs. I am wanting great performance but great looks in my build as well. In my currently PC build I have a Noctua NH-D15. It works great but it is hideous. It also prevents me from using my new g.skillz Trident Z rgb ram. The case I am using is the Cooler Master C700m. I am wanting to use a Kraken series cooler from NZXT for its great looks and well known performance however I was hoping to utilize my three 140mm Corsair ML rgb pro or 140mm LL fans. Is it possible to create one of these and will CAM have issues with it? I want to completely fill that space, make it look great and work great. Thanks.

Why don’t you just buy a Corsair cooler? Seems a waste to buy an expensive AIO then throw away the fans and use another set of expensive fans

Hello and welcome.

 

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking in its entirety.  You can replace the fans that come with the AIO with whichever fans of the same size that you'd like.  I can't speak to the behavior of CAM software, but there is undoubtedly a solution out there.

Regular case fans tend to be slightly different than water cooler radiator fans.  Are you looking for a 3x140mm radiator AIO that works with Corsair brand RGB?

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

I am wanting to change the radiator on the NZXT kraken to supports 3 140mm Corsair fans. I was just unsure if it was possible to do that.

Because I like the look of the NZXT kraken AIO better. Also, I have great rgb fans that I would like to utilize. The extra fans can be used in my wife’s computer.

Yes! But I was hoping to create something using a Kraken AIO with a different sized radiator. I am wondering if anyone would know if that would be possible.

I don’t remember if the hoses on that thing are even removable.  If you’re changing the radiator and the fans all that’s left is the pump.
