Advice on CLC AIO: Found One, Need Fact Check

Sorry I wasn't specific, I meant it fitting inside the case.

 

 

The NZXT S340 has this black bar thing near the front of the case, and as you can see from this Gamers Nexus screenshot, that AIO is getting its hairs trimmed, so I was wondering if I might have troubles with the radiator plus fans fitting in.

you answered your own question by posting a picture of the case with an AIO installed.

fan dimensions are norrmalized. meaning all 120mm fans should be the same height, diameter and length.

same with radiators. the fact that one slim 240 fits means that all slim 240's should fit.

Hi, so I've recently been in the market for an AIO liquid cooler to enhance the aesthetics of my PC, I've found the ID Cooling PinkFlow 240mm that I've possibly found is the one. It's got the looks that I want, whilst also being at a price that I can swallow, at £119.99 on Amazon UK.

I watched Gamer's Nexus' video on it and it performs just like any other Asetek AIO on the market.

 

 

I just have a few concerns:

  1. Is it actually priced okay?
    1. I'm not familiar with the AIO CLC market so I'm fairly blind on pricing.
  2. Is there anything better in the market that has equally good aesthetics and/or cooling performance?
  3. How am I able to tell if it's compatible with my case?
    1. I have an NZXT S340 and I'm worried about the beauty panel clashing with the AIO.

 

Thanks in advance for advice!

1. Price - Seems expensive for a 240mm AIO, but I think you're paying for the pink and RGB.

2. Not sure, I don't do RGB or 240mm AIO's so I cannot help.

3.  Clashing?  In what way?  Color vs color?  Fitment?

fan dimensions are norrmalized. meaning all 120mm fans should be the same height, diameter and length.

same with radiators. the fact that one slim 240 fits means that all slim 240's should fit.

Ah, I should have noted that that case is not strictly an S340, but you're right, NZXT mid-towers seem to be equally standard in where their beauty panels are, so your point about the dimensions is right!

 

Thanks to all! :)
