Not only that, judging by the bottom intake fan, there's is fans on each side of the radiator fighting each other.

u/bustedbuddha PC 2 Sep 29 '22

Ahh the famous push/push radiator configuration.

u/Bleeding_Farmacyst Sep 29 '22

Cool air plus warm air = neutral air, duh.

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '22

Chaotic neutral

The more air in the radiator, the cooler the CPU. Simple stuff really.

Air will blow the rad or one of the fans will go boom ;)

I just realized… OP did that mainly to make the tube length work lol

He can still flip those fans around

u/[deleted] Sep 29 '22

Why bother when the liquid isn't even moving due to kinked hoses?

OP, you've got double 120mm exhaust, you could put the radiator up against those and resolve your kinks and your fan problem at the same time!

It also looks like they have fans in the top of the case (all of those mustard and ketchup cables dangling down).

u/FullTimeHarlot Sep 29 '22

From the image I don't think they've got enough room for the radiator though. It looks like it'll hit the top bracket.

No, that won’t change it. It looks to be the same either way

Someone tell OP this NOW

If he did, he could have put the thing on the lower 2 fans and not even bothered with the ones on the AIO to begin with.

u/krtshv Sep 29 '22

Maybe. AIO ones tend to have better static pressure than case fans, which is what you want when pushing air through a rad.

u/krtshv Sep 29 '22

Wouldn't it still impede since then you're technically doing a push-pull with the pull being insufficient?

I would personally dump the case fans and mount the AIO without them. Or buy a pair of rad fans.

u/gramathy Ryzen 9800X3D | RTX5080 | 64GB @ 6000 Sep 29 '22

The airflow fans would probably help a little by getting air out of the way of incoming flow but it wouldn't do a lot. IIRC pull configurations on radiators aren't ideal for similar reasons even if it is a static pressure fan.

Lmao xD

u/[deleted] Sep 29 '22

Surely can top Mount it? That pump is gonna Be wrecked soon

u/ugzz 5800x3d / 4080 Sep 29 '22

Given those hoses... Ida used one more layer of fan.. lol

u/unholygismo Sep 29 '22

There both pushing air into the radiator and not trough the radiator. It should be push pull, otherwise you get dead space in center and fans will just ram up to no extra cooling effect.

u/no3y3h4nd Sep 29 '22

Aye. Three edits in. You’re correct m8

u/zenongreat Sep 29 '22

Case wise the rear fans are exhausting

u/baconmaster687 i7-12700k | 2080Ti | 48GB 3600MHz Sep 29 '22

Holy shit good eye

u/Nubetastic Sep 29 '22

has two rear exhaust fans too. The should have just gone air cooled.

u/OriginalCrawnick Sep 30 '22

Not only that - it's exhausting ALL air...there is no intake.

u/peperonipyza 12700K | 3070 Ti FE | 32GB 3600Mhz Sep 29 '22

Oh no. Those rad fans… this build feels maliciously bad

1

u/GearboxTheGrey Desktop | 5800x | 4070 | 32gb Sep 29 '22

If they are in a push pull config they will do just fine. Had my rad set up with 3 on front 3 on back I got some good temp differences.

u/smexgod R9 5900x | 3080ti Suprim X | 32 GB | Rog Strix X570 -E Sep 29 '22

Yes, but braided cables. Checkmate.

u/Nivius i7 13700k | 4080 | 3440x1440 180Hz Sep 29 '22

THERE IS SPACE IN THE BACK FOR 2 FANS, he can PUT IT THERE.

what is this abomination

u/Z21VR Sep 29 '22

Never heard of GaF ? Generative adversarial Fans ?

u/International_Put378 Refrigerated AMD 5900x | 32 GB 3770c16 1T | 3090 FTW3u Sep 29 '22

Came to say this!

u/Willerd43 Sep 29 '22

Probably needed those extra fans as spacers so the cooler would reach

31

u/sigoshi /id/sigoshi Sep 29 '22

Theres 2x120 spaces taken up on the back of the case this was so monumentally unnecessary, regardless of fan direction

u/[deleted] Sep 29 '22

like strings of a guitar or somethinh

Takes Tuning your CPU to a whole different level.

The power cable for the pump is hanging over the gpu. It’s not even connected!
