New AM5 Build - 1440p - White

[deviation]

I’m need to look at the manual. I know that the thicker rads do better but are a pain to fit.

I don’t off the top of my head recall what that chassis can fit.

Yeah it's a bit of a minefield, no case company seems to tell you max rad+fan clearance
I got quite annoyed with it, when looking in AIO's, so will eventually be going for a full size case, because it seems to be the only case that can safely house an Arctic AIO, and means I can go for the full fat 420MM then, and clearly get a bigger gain when it comes to noise versus performance and temps - it's annoying I can't just have a deeper mid-tower mind

I solved the issue by going air cooling I’m afraid.

AMD CPUs don’t run hot so why make it more complicated?

Having looked at the image, which has a Lian Li normal size AIO/Fan, pretty much sat on the ram, I'd say it definitely wont clear any Arctic AIO! That would definitely smash right into the VRM heatsink and ram if it was an Arctic!

Yeah, I'm on air, and I'm trying to justify an AIO purely for noise reasons. Temps are fine, but I would like silence. I'll be going AM5 next year and high end, so I really don't want to be sat next to a turbine

It says “overall thickness <= 60mm” for that V100

Ah, then no chance then, the Arctics are 65mm with the fan.

that photo makes it look as though the aio/fans are offset in front of the mobo etc as looks as though the fans overlap the top heatsink block and ram modules...

I did wonder that, still cant see an Arctic fitting, but I could be wrong. I've seen many motherboards with taller/beefier VRM's than that, so it would probably still hit them.

am looking as certain global website. 399aed where i am (£80) for black one..one of the reviews says comfortably fit arctic rad..unfortunately he doesn't say whether he put it in the top or vertically on the side, though manual only has top as rad mounting point..also on manual if going for 360, the fixing slots are at front rather than the 140mm fitting point which is closer to the mobo..might be room then

go to 6min 59sec...that's plenty of space for the rad in my view. there's clearance there for the rad to come down in front of the mobo/ram

Thanks
If I still go AIO, I'll stick with my plan to get a 420MM Arctic and a full size meshy tower.
