Nzxt kraken 42 in the Corsair 460x case

[ickyvicky125]

Hey everyone , i need opinions. I just got the corsair 460x case & wanted to use the kraken 42 cooler. Would it look dumb if i wanted to install it where the exhaust fan goes? I have not built the rig just yet, but im gonna have 3 fans on the right side , two up top, and (obviously) one for exhaust where the kraken will be. Opinions & pic would be awesome . Thank you

That's a 140mm rad, sure the case isn't 120mm in the rear? Or did you mean mounting it on the top?

@ickyvicky125 The 460x will only accept 120mm fans in the rear.  We typically build our 460X cases with an H100i V2 in the front behind the top two front fans.  But if you're planning to run only a rear 120mm radiator, you can fit an H60 easily.

No problem, let me know if you have any other questions about your 460x or any of the other coolers we offer.

I recommend throwing your aio on the top

You can fit a radiator in the top, but you will need to make sure there is proper clearance with the motherboard, particularly the RAM modules.
