AIO Cooler.

I've been looking at the Rajineck Triton, and the Cooler Master Nepton 240mm.

Which one would you go for? the Rajineck looks better but been hearing bad things.

Or is there another around? Max of £80 tbh

Agreed. I may be somewhat biased though if you have any questions regarding it, please let me know.

Haha, when will they be in stock?

Also i don't really get how it works, as it will be taking up my top two fan spots will this still be the same as a normal exhaust? Seems like the rad would block the air flow out of the case.

I'm hovering over the "confirm" purchase button, I don't know if i should do it

Also, i know it says, holes for watercooling but i just want to double check.

A radiator would mount to the top of the case,with 2 fans attached pushing air through the radiator.

Im sure you would struggle to fit an aio with fans on it to the top of that case and not run into clearance issues with the motherboard however.Thew holes the page talks about are the gromets above the I/O panel at the back that allow tubing to ran inside/outside the case,and wouldnt be used with an AIO

Ah right, people are saying they have fitted H100i's into these cases. and they are the same dimensions. I'm going to give it a go, i can always return it.

Thanks

Have you looked on ************? Look up Completed Builds and refine by cooler and case and hopefully you will get some results with pictures.
I've found it useful in the past to see how much room I would have with an air cooler.

My case isn't on there

Just measure the distance between the top of your motherboard and the top of the case.

Aio's usually require 52mm of clearance.

Yeah I have about 50mm, probably less due to it being hard to measure with a steel rule haha..

I think the only way to do it would be run the tubing outside the case, through the back grommets and then run the rad on top, case then the fans inside.

I just like the look of how neat they are they. And I wouldn't go to that much hassle to fit it in, it's just the way I'd have to go about it.

Yeah a good air cooler it is then! Fill it up with fans and get a decent cooler.

Thanks for you help, would have bought one to return it, also means I don't have to buy from the dark side.

Well when I built the pc the case was cheap and looked quite pretty.

I know air coolers aren't silent in theory that is almost impossible.

The reason I think I'm going to have to go air is due to size. I have it as disposable income so I may get it, see if it fits, if it does, great if not, back it goes

I think people above have provided an adequate explanation. In terms of stock, I believe they shipped out from the distributor this morning, so you can expect stock to land with OcUK tomorrow? + processing time. Stock available on the 5th? At a guess.

Okay thank you

Going to do a bit more measuring and hopefully it'll fit

I will have a proper read through on my lunch and try to work it out for you as well pal.

Thanks, I appreciate it

Unfortunately I can't find much info on the Zalman R1 so I am unable to say exactly what will fit in the top. You could look at the Nepton 120XL, as it sits on the rear fan space, it will fit. Whereas I am not too sure about the top section and clearance issues. sorry I can't be more help than that. As suggested if you measure the distance from the top of the case/the bottom of the default installed fan, we should be able to work it out from there.

Okay, I'll pull it out and have a proper look, after reading the above post properly it said 52mm not 57 which i thought it said. I probably have a chance!

I couldn't find much on the case either, ah well. I'll figure something out

But thanks for looking into it for me.

savagesam117 · 3 Feb 2015 at 17:18

Right, it would fit if I had a different motherboard, mine has a fin behind the cpu means that it's about 4mm in the way.

I went to my local ** ***** and got a H55 120mm. It fits in the right fan slot but can't slide over so will not fit a 240

Now I've got this corsair h55, I kinda want to keep it, I only paid £20 for it as I got a voucher for Christmas and don't need anything else from there haha. Fits nicely on my rear fan

Thanks for your help guys, any other situation it would fit, me being fussy and wanted a cool looking mobo means I cant

savagesam117 · 3 Feb 2015 at 18:12

Yeah, I will be when I get my full water cooled system in a few months time.
If I get one now I'll just get one I don't really want and be bored of it by the time I do my WC.

6 years!? I've never owned anything for that long. 1 year max for a case! Got to switch things up!

Plan ahead!!

He says having owned Fractal Define R4 for a year before getting new case for planned WC loop

I don't do planning!

I don't want a new case yet. I'll live without it haha
