Screws on Fury X for AIO Cooler

Hi guys,

Silence for me is key, and I have basically already got an AIO cooler with 2 Akasa Blacks (can't remember the exact name) for my i5 that runs on the lowest fan setting perfectly. This is perfectly silent for me even at load.

Now I want to add to this by joining on the AIO cooler on the same exhaust, to keep the noise levels as minimum as possible.

So basically it would look like

Exit of case < Fan < CPU AIO < FAN < GFX AIO < FAN < Screws.

Just need to know what size screws comes with the Fury, as I'm gonna see if I can get longer ones.

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks
 
You shouldn't stack rads - very bad for temps.

And besides - how are you going to screw that middle fan to the rads on either side of it? You can't have one big screw going through all five compnents (well you can if you don't mind water leaking out of the punctured rad core).

I assume the screws would just go directly through the middle fan ?! :S

Had no issues connecting 2 fans to ONE rad before ? So it would be like connecting two fans to each RAD, with screws just going through the 4 holes on the corners as normal. The screws join to the case?

Don't care about high temps, as long as there is no throttling.

High temps do cause throttling though. That's a terrible idea. You could also make things more noisy by introducing turbulance. I very much doubt that the Fury's rad will be able to provide sufficient cooling while running continously at a low fan speed.

Yes, but the screws would go through the radiator cores as well.

Two fans on one rad is good (as long as they are the same make/model of fan). However, going fan>rad>fan>rad>fan is BAD as the hot air expelled from the first rad will actually HEAT the water up in the second. Remember, rads are just heat exchangers - it can dump heat INTO the water as well as extract heat from the water.

Well ok then. Do it and let us know what happens.
