Hi,

 

Very sorry but I don't see installing a 280mm radiator/fan option in this chassis.

 

You can't install this radiator at the front of the chassis, the HDD bays are located at the front of the chassis. Please see upgrade and servicing guide (Link).

 

I don't think the radiator will fit at the top of the chassis. The 280mm system will not fit at the rear of the chassis.

 

Plus you will need an open USB 2.0 header on the motherboard to use CAM software.

 

Regards

So what are the best liquid cooling i could use? And what size? I want a 2 fan as possible

Hi,

 

I can't answer this question because I have never worked with this chassis. Maybe a different forum member has installed a 120mm or 240mm rad/fan in this unit.

 

-You have to verify you can mount the rad/fan in the top of the chassis. You need 120mm or 240mm mount points in the chassis.

 

-You need to measure the rad/fan. You need to verify the rad and fan will fit in the chassis and will not interfere with the memory sockets or other hardware such as the VRMs or the HDD mounting points at the front of the chassis.

 

-You need to install the manufacturer provided CPU back plate used to secure the pump to the CPU socket if you have an Intel CPU.

 

- You need a spare USB 2.0 header on the motherboard to control the AIO fans and pump; you need an open SATA power connector to power the pump.

 

You have to do the verification if you want a successful CPU cooling system upgrade.

 

Regards
