How can I mount these fans and my radiator properly?

Hi,

 

Just received my new Noctua fans today and I wanted to plan how to fit them into the case.

I want to go with push configuration, so fans on top of the rad, for better performance (Heard this gave slightly better performance) and mainly because I don't want to have 'poop brown and vomit tan' visible in my case.

I have screws available but I don't think they're long enough, especially because I want to put some extra anti-vibration pads inbetween. 

 

Ideally I would like to use the anti-vibration mounts as well, though will they support both 3 fans + a 360mm rad? If not the solution if simple and I can just move to longer screws. 

 

If they do, how can I mount the fans to the rad without occupying the top mounting holes of the fans, so that I can use the anti-vibration mounts to mount the entire thing to the case?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards,

Exuraz

 

PS. Sorry if the pic is too large

Help with custom loop h440

I currently have a PC with a h440 case, planning on upgrading as soon as I have the cash my current specs are:

 

I7 4770K

CXM 750 ( planning on changing to a AX1200 for future gpu upgrades with custome sleeved cords.)

evo 840 256gb ssd

1tb seagate barracuda

1600mhz ddr3 corsair vengace ram

nzxt grid + for fan controll

h80i

 

 

Planning on doing a completely custom loop for at least the cpu and hopefully the gpu my debate is in either using one or two rads and making sure it would all work perfectly together..

 

 

This is the diagram I have set for the build

Water cooling kit advice

Hi, Im planning to put in a water cooling device for my FX-8320 because as you all know stock coolers are really loud and AMD Processors are really hot.

 

   What I need is a 120mm rad (because that is the only rad that will fit to my case), I am currently eyeing on:

 

 

Cooler master Seidon 120M Liquid cooling kit

Deepcool Captain 120 AIO Liquid Radiator

 

any advice on which is better? or should I switch to Air cooling?

Opinions; Watercool my 2 290's now or save the money for...

So I have had both of my 2 R9 290's for a little under a year at this point. (One MSI TwinFrozr and one ASUS DCII) I'm wondering if I should spend the $300 to put blocks on them (The EK blocks along with matching back-plates bridge and fittings, ect) for the silence and to make them appear more similar as I am happy with the performance I am getting out of them now: http://www.3dmark.com/fs/3921273 so the silence and appearance are really what I would be doing it for. Or should I save the $300 and water cool a 380x later this year when they are released (assuming they perform as the leaks are currently expecting).

 

Any opinions? bonus points from anyone that has gone and water-cooled hardware a generation or 2 behind was it worth it?

Hey so FrozenCPU is out of stock on their GTX 760 waterblocks.

Performance-PCs.com has them in-stock so now I'm just wondering, are they safe and legitimate?

Has anyone here used them before without any issues? Thanks.

Final water cooling questions before assembly!

January 29, 2015, 3:27 pm

So today I have all my parts and am putting together my loop (finally). First question is on my EK GPU water block it says compressions fittings thread must not be longer than 5mm, or if it is I have to use an included spacer. These are my fittings: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OMATFAU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1I also have a right angle one for the bottom of the graphics card but I assume it's the same thread length. So first off I want to make sure that these are ok. 

 

Then I have a question about CPU cooling. I'm thinking it won't make a difference, but I want to rotate my CPU block 90 degrees. So that the input is on the bottom and the output is on top of it, not traditionally like side to side. I'm assuming this won't affect CPU cooling at all?

 

Lastly I guess it's too late for this, but I noticed on my EK GPU block instructions they even recommend using  electrically non-conductive thermal paste of some kind on the thermal pads to increase cooling. I'm not sure if the paste I have on hand is ok, or if I should even worry about this. I have Arctic Silver 5 and the Noctua NT-H1 on hand.  

 

P.S. Installing water block on my GPU as we speak.
