AiO on graphics card

[Z4nark]

Hello, 

 

I did not know if i had to post this here.

 

I have a problem with hot air that gets stuck below my graphics card in my CM H500P and it makes it heat up quite a lot compared to my previous case, a HAF XB EVO, i gain almost 10°C when i remove the side panel of the case.

 

I want to put an AiO watercooling on my graphics card, it's a 1070 HoF, i planned to use a Kraken G12 and whatever 280mm AiO so i can get the lowest noise and temps without cranking the fans, but i wanted to put the AiO on the top of the case as i have the 200mm fans in the front, and my Thermalright Grand Macho RT blocks the rear exhaust. BUT I don't know if the tubes will be long enough to get to the top of the case...

 

So I have several question questions : 

 

Is there a 280mm AiO that has tubes long enough ? Or another size if there is no other choice ?

 

If it's not possible, is there another solution ? I can't pierce through the tempered glass to add a fan...

 

Thank you

yes there long enough if you front mount the rad. also there are modular aio kits too now.

get a new case. That case has so many bad reviews on it for thermal issues alone.

If there was a new version of the Silverstone Raven case I would have bought it trust me...

 

I have the mesh version so airflow coming in is not an issue, the problem is airflow under the GPU  :/

 

I dont really want to put the radiator on the front, I have an aircooler on the cpu and I don't want to send hot air on it.

 

What AiO can be "lengthened"  ? 

 

I would much prefer using an AiO and the G12 so i can use it on my next gpu as i plan to change in 2 years or so and a waterblock is to expensive for a "one time use" part to me

Any AIO with roughly 12"/310mm of tube length should work. I have a thermaltake water 3.0 aio and nzxt g10 setup, and have managed to place the GPU on second mobo slot with rad still reaching the top of my case

The NZXTs have 400mm tubes so this should be fine, i'll try that

 

Thank you  !

400mm should definitely be enough
