AIO Compatible?

[cutelittlebabyboss]

Hi guys, so i'm planning to buy a Lian Li O11 Dynamic Case and a DeepCool Castle 360ex CPU AIO Cooler. I'm planning to either place the radiator at the top side or bottom which all is 360mm radiator compatible. However, the length of the radiator is 402mm, does it fit into any 3 places (top side or bottom) of the case. Can someone test in reality. Thank you.

?! What incredibly hot massive cpu do you need 300+w of cooling for?  Or is this an aesthetic choice?

Probably aesthetics speaking that that’s the only real reason to buy an aio anymore.

 

but top will fit, that little bit is common as the 3x120mm refers to mounting, and aios are expected to have a little over hang for the lines to come out/in.

There are reasons.  There are CPUs that can actually run the top off a 360 AIO from both cpu manufacturers.  The 3970x and an overclocked 9900k can both do it.  There’s also SFF and annother reason or two.  Consumer gaming CPUs in larger cases frequently don’t though, yes.

There’s also air coolers that air rated for 300+w that are cheaper.
