Fractal Define Nano S Advice

[a93shah]

Hello there, hope everyone is well today. Just wanted some quick advice. I am looking to install a radiator on this case at the front. The cooler I am installing is the EVGA CLC 280. Currently you can see I have a small rad at the back which will be coming out ofc. Now my problem is with the general airflow in the case. I don't know how I could get it all to work baring in mind that the front of the case is restricted with the panel, very little room for air via vents. Not willing to carry out any modding work unfortuantly as great as it might be.

Any ideas on how I could set this up?

Hope everyone has a nice christmas in the coming days and a happy new year!! best wishes to all

I think I would use a 240 rad up top as exhaust and keep front as intake. I know it's not quite as much cooling for CPU but GPU will be receiving cooling air instead of air pre-heated air coming out of 280 rad in front. Or use a good air cooler that will cool as well and cost less. Need to know what motherboard and RAM you have to be able to suggest coolers that will fit, but at a guess something like Scythe Fuma 2,Mugen 5, Thermalright Macho Rev. B or Rev. C, Phanteks PH-TC14PE (£52.99), and a couple of good front intake fans (PH-F140MP 2-pack £16.26) would work very well and are much lower priced too.

Temp differences on rads front and top are negligible. If you already have the 280m, then the front it will have to go. Just keep the door open.
