Question about radiator size

[knijn]

I'm making a new PCbut I'm confused about radiator size. My case says it's big enough for a 360MM radiator. And the liquid cooler i found is a 3 120mm fan radiator. but it also says the width is 398MM will this fit?

I think it will fit but I just want to make sure so i don't buy something that won't fit. Thanks for the help.

cooler and case stated below:

Case: CoolerMaster MasterBox 520 mesh

Cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 A-RGB

It should. Radiators are always a bit longer than the actual fan surface area, they need to fit the inlets/outlets and some other stuff on the ends. AIOs usually use a U-Flow rad, which needs space for inlet/outlet on one end, and a cap that lets the coolant flow back through the radiator on the other end. Case manufacturers account for this when saying a given case fits X rad.

thanks for the help. It's my first build so I just wanted to be sure

The Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 exceeds the max thickness (63 mm) recommended by Cooler Master (55 mm) for top mounted radiators. The AIO would have to be front mounted if the GPU does not interfere.
