Radiator Preferences

  1. 1. What size radiators would you prefer your case accommodated by default?

    • 120mm
      1
    • 140mm
      4
    • The case should include elegant mounting options for both
      1
    • No preference, whatever my favorite case has
      3

  2. 2. Are you okay putting 120mm radiators in 140mm radiator locations?

    • Yes, yes and I am happy using an adapter not included with the case
      2
    • Only if the case comes with a good looking adapter
      1
    • No, I would always go with 140mm radiators in those locations

Hello! I am designing a new case and want to know about people's preferences when it comes to radiator size.

I am probably going to make other threads about this as my project progresses, but feel free to share any thoughts about case design here!

 

BTW the moderation team for this forum is FAST! I posted early by mistake and it was taken down in seconds! Great work!

I was kind of disappointed with my 140mm Hardware labs radiator. It wouldn't fit in the Rear exhaust location of my Define S. Mainly because they use pretty large shields on the sides of there rads but man I was upset because I really like Hardware labs Radiators.
