Asus TUF z690 + Fractal Torrent + Arctic Freezer 2 360mm

Richeh · 11 Feb 2022 at 00:25

Right so I have just built this be and praise the gods it turned on first time and everything seems to be working well. However, the Artic seems to just have the one fan connector that powers all. I have plugged it into the 'CPU fan' header on the motherboard. Is this correct? I have different Mobo headers available as well as the Torrent's fan hub. Where should I plug it into?

Any help appreciated.

Thank you!

Cpu fan header is correct.

Yeah as mentioned the CPU fan header is the best place to plug it into.

I have a fractal torrent and use the hub for the case fans. I actually added another Fractal fan as an exhaust too.

I have to say the Torrent is the best case I've ever owned.

Does the 360 arctic fit on the top of the case ?

I recently completed a build in the fractal torrent, managed to get the artic freezer 420 in the front, with a small modification of the bottom fan tray. Basically removed enough of the lower fan grill to accommodate the bottom of the 420mm radiator. The torrent is an excellent case, managed to fit the 2 180mm fans in the bottom helping keep my 3090 fe cool. 5800x stays below 60c during prolonged gaming, despite my reservations of taking a dremel to a 200 quid case I'm really happy with it
