Hi there

 

I am looking for an AIO water cooler that will fit in my Bitfenix Shinobi. I know that this case is kind of on the small side, but I don't really want to go the air cooling route. What would be the best cooler that would fit, and where exactly would be the best place for it to go? Thanks.

CPU: AMD FX 8350 GPU: Reference GTX 980ti Motherboard: Gigabyte 990fxa-Ud3 (rev. 4.0) RAM: 16GB 1600 Speed Memory Power Supply: Corsair CX600m 600 watt PSU Case: NZXT H440

None. Go with a Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 2. I was able to fit a Seidon 240M in mine, but it looked terrible, was extremely loud and it compromised the structural rigidity of the case. And now I have a Corsair C70.

Not even a Corsair H50 would fit inside?

Well, single 120 coolers would fit, but I wouldn't recommend buying a single 120 since air coolers outperform them.

I use a Bitfenix Shinobi for my NAS/Server and I run an H80 on it without any issues whatsoever. I mounted it as the rear exhaust. It keeps the rig very cool, considering all of the heat producing components inside. I also switched out the fan on it to a gentle typhoon..

If you were willing to remove the 3.5" drive bays from the front, a 240mm rad might fit. That's what I'd do :P

 

Otherwise: Air
