XE rad in H200i

[ReyazJunior]

So this video says that there is 89 cm of clearance for a push/pull radiator setup. If I use 25mm thick fans (commonplace), with a 60mm XE rad (240), will it fit? And will it be enough to cool an i7-8700K and a GTX 1080 Ti? Perhaps an XE can cool them, but will it fit? That's what I am asking.

Considering it is a 240mm rad for both a CPU and GPU, I'd be careful with overclocking. You also need to be careful of the gpu length, as he showed that with a slim rad a large GPU was very close to the fans/rad

the 60mm XE in 240mm variety will be fine.

Oh thanks a lot!!!! Yippe!!! I have an awkward space problem for my case choice, and you just made my day better. Now my system WILL be in the NZXT H200i!!!!

Anyways, is push pull really important or useful? If yes, how?

on a 60mm rad, push pull will be beneficial. There'a s alot of rad to push through, so anything that helps that air along is a good thing.

I might sound stupid, but can u explain how push/pull works and how to set it up?

one fan is on the back of the rad with airflow pushing into the core, and the other fan is front of the rad pulling air out of the core.

Lol. I doubt there is enough spacing over there. If there is, good; not a deal breaker for me. Thanks.

That might also hinder with airflow.

I doubt that very much.

I see. I'll watch some videos on it.

89>(60+25)

 

89>85

 

Math  BUT

 

GPU Clearance: Up to 325mm

 

So 325-85 = 240mm. The block is longer than that,so it wont work  (Dmitri points that out in the video, he's using a reference nvidia card)

Suddenly any GTX 1080 Ti I could have got went out of stock. I don't know why. I was initially planning to get the MSI GTX 1080 Ti Sea Hawk EK X. Since it isn't in stock, ill use the Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme Waterforce GTX 1080 Ti. I'll probably use the NZXT H400i instead. Any GPU with a water block will fit. I'll still stick to mITX tho. I don't find quality mATX Z370 motherboards on Newegg India or elsewhere.

Yeah the Z370 mATX boiards are a bit scarce, theres a good Asus Strix one but I dont know if thats avaialbe in India. 

 

The good news is the H400i is not much aller than the H200i, and is decently longer to allow that thicker rad (max 411mm GPU clearance -85= 326mm clearance needed for GPU's, definitely doable with a GPU block)

Yesss that's amazing 

The ASUS ROG Strix Z370-G (WiFi AC) is a good one, but unavailable in India. Anyways, my exhaust will also be better in the H400i. I will use 5 NZXT Aer RGB fans, 3 120mm (exhaust) and 2 140mm (intake). If this causes negative pressure, please tell. Very good. 

Thanks still. Bur please tell me if 3 fans as exhaust and 2 as intake will cause negative pressure or not.

It would have negative airflow, if all fans were spinning at the same speed. 

 

Since the intakes are 140mm Fans, they only have slightly less airflow than three 120mm fans (i cant remember exactly how much) so you would either need to

• A, increase the fan speed of the 2 intakes or
• B, slow the fan speeds of the 3 exhaust.

Either method would neutralize airflow, or even make it positive if you really offset the speeds. Now the H series has a "smart hub" fan controller, but I dont know if the "machine learning bullcrap" is disable-able, and just manually set the fan speeds like a normal fan controller.... If you can, I'd personally do that as having the buggy software controlling your temperature is less ideal.

I can set my own profiles. In the software, that is. Or I can stick to the machine learning AI. I'd rather slow the exhaust fans as I also care about noise. Thanks a lot for ur help.

You mean the thing included with the case? That thing is really bad and doesn't work well at all. Also is a pain to setup.
