AIO Cooler Question

Go to solution Solved by tomas710,

 

Hi!
 
I've finally found an all in one cooler I like, but I'm having trouble finding out if I can put it where I'd like in my case. I have the Fractal Design Define R5, and I want to have the 280mm radiator near the front (I'd remove the top hard drive cage and put the radiator in its place). However, I'm a little confused about the length of the tubes. Will they be able to fit from the cpu block to the front of the case?
 
 
 
Thanks in advance for your help!

 

according to amazon the tubing is 16 inches, which is quiet long

A build with the R5 and a front mounted X60, not the exact same cooler but pretty much the same, it fits with room to spare

I had to take that gamble when i bought my corsair H105, there was plenty of length for me to work with, and i think the NZXT units are similar
