360 rads and fans

Petrolhead · 17 Oct 2020 at 09:58

I was going to by the EK PE rad which i believe is about 38mm thick.

can i just use 3 fans on one side or will i have to go push pull which i would rather not.

if not then can you recommend a suitable rad please.

i am going to cool a RTX 3090 in a lian li 011 Dynamic ase

Looking into the a bit more i would like to know which is better, a rad top and bottom or top and side

you can use either side or both for fans, you don't have to use push pull

I have the 0-11 Air and am going to be installing 2x 360mm radiators.

My plan was to use a PE in pull only mounted to the side and a XE in push only on the top exhausting with an extra 3x fans on the front of the case pulling air in... not sure how good of a plan it is but theres where I am right now.

Loop will be cooling a 10900k and 3090 FE.

You may struggle getting both rads in, in that config https://www.reddit.com/r/watercooling/comments/8mb3lz/warning_lian_li_o11_dynamic_and_360_rads/

I found someone else who has already done it to be sure it will fit:

Super nice build too

Interesting, thats the Air version, i have the Dynamic. Whats interesting is he can fit an EK PC360 rad in the side section due to the usb ports being further forward which you cant in the Dynamic. Maybe i got the wrong case

Yes, as i said i have the Air version... that would be a shame about the usb ports... do you actually ever use them though?
I literally NEVER use them so I would probably just remove them if it didnt fit.

I didnt pick up on that bit, i thought the dynamic and air were the same apart from the front fans.

I found another vid where the guy messed about with the cables

Thats a good video, looks easy enough to do
