Stacker 810 Quick Question

Arthalen · 16 Oct 2006 at 16:46

The above beauty has dual 120mm fan mounts at the rear of the case.

Has anyone fitted a dual 120.2 rad to this mount with any sucess ?

I perceive a gap between the two mounts which may throw off the fitting, and I'm STILL looking for a case that will take a 120.2 without modding....

Yes there is a gap between each fan mount on the stacker- roughly 1cm, unlike the 120.2 rads with the fans smack against each other. So the fan holes on the case won't match up with the radiator fan holes.

Just use 4 fixings instead of 8 to attach it the case.

I've just spotted Thermaltake's Kandalf LCS Case with triple Rad built into the front door, no less.

Im in Apoplexy!

You really want to keep the radiator out of the case, with ambiant air going through the rad and out again. Having a rad in the front of the case means hot air is pushed into the case.

Air coming out of the radiator will be at most 5C hotter than it went in so it makes very little difference.

I can confirm this... My rad sits at the back of my case with reversed airflow at present, and the motherboard/vrm section is all passivley cooled with no problem whatsoever.
