those numbers might not be very relevant though as the surface area you mentioned is more important. I plan for two of my rads to be medium (45mm) thickness, If you compare what I plan vs 2x420 slim you get a "cooling volume" of 3528 cm³ (140mm) vs 5184 cm³ (120mm).

I think Is aw a product support reply from Corsair stating that yes indeed you can do 2x420 rads (front and top) but are then limited to slim rads (30mm). I'm a fan of 140mm fans/rads and that's what I currently use in my system. Since rad/bracket/fans are separate self contained units working with rad groups is no issue. The radiator bracket removes out through the back so I can just pop it out and add the fans, or pop out the front bracket. Likely make both front and side intakes and up out through the roof. I think I'm going to order the rads and play around with positioning, then I will know if I will order fans for all 3 rads. Well, it's not just a matter of looks and fit, it's also an issue of managing additional fans as well as the economy of it (maybe a bit ridiculous worrying over 3 extra fans for a build around 8k us). If you prefer the bare radiator look, you can still mount them on the other side, in pull for example.

You could install them (if it fits, should if we go by the guide), and leave them off.

Regarding adding fans later on, another caviat ^^ If you want to screw fans to the side rad after the fact, you'll have to take out the front radiator, given the supertight clearance 😛Īfter all, passive with no fans, and passive with fans off is identical. it's good form 😛 no point in having a warm water buffer)Īnd btw since AMD 6000 and Nvidia 3000 series, 3 rads isn't overkill anymore ! (try to put the reservoir after the rads too.

then you can go to side then front for example, and back to the reservoir. Usually i prefer top exhaust first in loop anyway. If you use front intake, making the front rad dump its heat on the two others, it could be a good idea to make it last in the loop, to minimize that slight inefficiency as much as possible. You'll have to make the other fans work harder which seems to defeat the goal of a silent build. Without fans, you really have to have very negative, or very positive pressure in the case to push some air through that passive rad. If you have the possibility to install 3 active slim rads instead of 2 fatter active and one slim passive, maybe consider it. (pictures if you have them).Ĭan't say about the fitment as i don't own the case, but here are a few general custom loop ideas 🙂 Please share your experiences and thoughts. What about mixing front and top with 45mm RADs? Will 360 top and 480 front work, or will I be limite to 2 360's (planning to keep all ports on top).įor the side mounted rad I'm guessing the ports will be the main issue and maybe a centered slim 360 might sort that?

It looks like I can get away with a slim passive 360/480 mounted to the side without interfering with windows offset top and side rads regardless of thickness (only the tubing might be an issue?). Now I wonder what sizes I can get away with for this setup and still be able to run tubing. For front and top I'm planning on 45mm thick ones and all will be push oriented (in front out top). I will go a bit overkill (before anyone mentions it 😉 ) And thinking 3 rads, front, top and side where the side mounted one will be slim and passive (no fans). I just got my new 7000D Airflow (Only ever use Corsair cases) and now trying to figure out what radiators to get.

It will have full custom loop water cooling and my main aim is for silent running rather than max overclock. I'm just starting a new build which will be my biggest ever so far based around the new AMD 7000 CPU and GPUs.
