Hi,
The cooler installed fine, works fine, but I have put the hoses at the top of the rad.
I was intending on flipping it this evening, however, the 3080 extends pretty far back in the case at the moment with the stock air cooler still on it and I'm not sure the tubing will reach. A 360mm in the Define 7 goes right to the very bottom front of the case. If it's not going to reach, it saves me taking out 12 screws and 3 fans + cables again.
Has anyone tried fitting a FRONT CPU 360mm rad with the hoses at the bottom? I imagine some might reach, anyone with a Kraken and this case around?
Thanks.
EDIT: Currently the CPU has a 360mm X73, the 3080 is air cooled. I have an alpha-cool Ieswolf for the 3080, but not going to fit it for a few weeks to learn the card's thermal properties without it first. So that 360mm rad is intended to go at the top, as exhaust with the x73 360mm rad being intake at the front. I then have the basement for 2 intake fans and the rear exhaust for VRM cooling. That's the plan.
