Posted September 6, 2017 Im doing a new build (my first one) and I wasn't able to put the aio radiator where I wanted as the motherboard heat sink blocked the screws on the radiator. So the only place I could fit it was further away from the motherboard, and I wanted to check that is ok or is it not efficient? the relevant parts are: - Case - NZXT Source 530 - Motherboard - MSI X399 - CPU - AMD 1950x (threadripper) - AIO Cooler - Cooler Master MasterLiquid 240 ive attached a photo to show where I ended up putting the cooler. It is on the top of the case near the front. Is this going to be ok? Or do I need to get a bigger case? Or could I swap out the mobo heat sink for a smaller one so I could fit the radiator in?

Posted September 6, 2017 seems okay to me just make sure there is enought ventilation for the radiator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if its meant for that purpose.. hopefully its ok to do that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
