Front 280mm AIO in Phanteks Enthoo Pro M (or new case recommendation)

[arthoc]

Hello,

 

I spent too much time today trying to mount a Kraken X63 280mm AIO for a 5900X in my old Phanteks Enthoo Pro M in the front and failed miserably.

 

Maybe I'm just dense, but can anybody tell me if that's even possible? It doesn't seem there are enough holes to screw the radiator in. I should probably add that this is my first ever AIO.

 

It's currently mounted on the top and that just looks meh.

 

Alternatively, any good case recommendations <= US$150 that fit a Gigabyte Aorus 3080 Extreme (12.56" x 5.51"), an ATX board, 3 SATA SSDs, one HDD, a RM850x PSU, at leat 3x 120mm Fans, and can front-mount a radiator?

 

Thanks!

i would think that it would need to be mounted in he front meaning your would screw the fans form inside out.

 

im guessing that thats a 30mm rad and 25mm fans so you need 55mm from the front of the case to the back of the front panel

you also would need to put the fans on the other side of the rad.

I have the clearance, but there are no holes in the case to screw the radiator into?

is that not a 140mm fan in the front? you use the same holes the fans use.

There is - but how do i attach the actual radiator to the case?

I gave up and bought a new case - for folks googling - I'm pretty sure that thing doesn't fit, plain and simple.
