Can i run my 2nd 240mm radiator with 1 fan?

[icytalentpwns]

I have a custom loop running with 360mm radiator with 3 fan and as for my 2nd radiator i could only fit 1 fan due to my case, distroplate and my psu. My case is Jonsbo mod 3 by the way. Thanks for the answers

you can, it will just be somewhat less effective. also consider slim fans (as thin as close to 10mm thick) if possible, but yeah, there's nothing that'll break if you do that. you can ofc just get a smaller rad, but if the cost difference is negligible, it does technically help to have the extra space, esp if your airflow setup will allow passive flow through it. and it could look better, depending. so I'd say go for it!

Forget slim fans, get a different case. Slim fans are not great for static pressure as radiator fans. What's the point in water-cooling if you can't effectively do it?
