Radiators for Fractal Design Define R6

[Julian Wysocki]

I will be using a Threadripper 2990WX for rendering, possibly for several hrs at a time and need to keep it cool. Will 2 x 280 radiators be enough, with EK-Furious Vardar EVO 140 BB (2500rpm) 140mm fans and a D5 Photon 270 Reservoir / Pump Combo V2 ? I want to keep an optical drive bay free. Block will be Heatkiller IV Pro AMD Thread Ripper (TR4).

Thanks for any advice.

edit:
I've decided to go with the PC-O11 Dynamic Midi-Tower, so there is plenty of room for what I want. Very nice looking case!

You could theoretically fit:

1 x 360x60mm in the front and 1 x 360 x 28mm on the top.

You should also be able to fit 1 x 240x40mm in the bottom, 2 x 280mm (one front and one top) should you need it.

I haven’t seen a fractal r6 with 3 radiators but with some effort it works in theory - putting a giant thick rad in the front and a thin one up top results in more surface area than ifbyouvtried to fit 3 radiators I believe

Edit: Yea if you have the desk space the O11 is much nicer imo and you’ll be able fit much more radiator surface area in there.
If you wanted to go all out you’d be able to fit 2 x 360x60mm top and bottom and 1 x 360x28mm in the side - this is what it looks like https://ggflan.com/lian-li-pc-o11-dynamic-triple-360-radiator-build/

Thanks Grim5. I really like the 011 and hear there is a version with more room maybe July to Sep release. I can wait!
