Fractal R5 Radiators

[Adam123]

Hello,

I have seen the radiator options available for the R5 - I've added it below.

Is the reason the 140 / 280 / 420mm radiators can only be 55mm maximum width because of the rear exhaust fan - "Requires removal of fan in rear position."?

I assume the 140/280/420 mounting points start behind the 120/240/360mm ones so would impede on the rear fan - so by removing the rear fan would allow more than 55mm set ups?

Cheers

Adam

Probably due to the motherboard.

You can pretty much put a single one anywhere you like; I think the drawing is trying to account for idiots who expect the R5 to act like a tardis and will complain when they cant have competing radiators occupying the same space.
