Help with cooling

[Z Taylor]

Hi,

 

A friend of mine is attempting to build his first PC, and is using the Corsair Hyrdo H100 as the CPU cooler.

 

As this only cools the CPU, what sort of fan setup do I need for the rest of the case?  The parts being used are:

 

Intel i5-12600K

MSI MAG B660 TOMAHAWK DDR4 WIFI motherboard

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 sticks of 8GB) RAM
Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB PCIe NVMe SSD

GeForce RTX 3060

MSI MAG VAMPIRIC 010 Case

You didn't mention the type of case?

Oh sorry - I knew there was something I had missed - it is the MSI MAG VAMPIRIC 010

Outside of the ridiculousness of their marketing: "The MAG VAMPIRIC 011C gaming chassis, inspired by the duke of dark knight - Dracula"  WTF? Dracula is the Lord of the Night, dumbasses!

 

They also give you a fan location breakdown:

Comes with a rear 120mm, I would mount the AIO on top and do 3x 120 or 2x140 in front (I don't have the case, so not sure what would look better or have better realistic airflow).

Thanks for all that, but how do I make it work with a CPU water cooler that isn't a 'true' water cooler?

Not sure what you're asking.  Do it just like the pic I posted, that's a 240mm AIO (same as the Hydro H100).

I'm so sorry - I assumed you had sent me some kind of brochure rather than actual advice.  Big heatwave in the UK at the moment - it must be getting to me.  Thanks mate.
