Here is a tip for those using the Artic's...These are very thick radiators that Artic uses, so a 280 is pretty much equivalent to a normal Corsair or other brand's 360 AIO in cooling performance. From my experience the Artic's have much better pumps then the other AIO's also. This is my experience with my customers who want 360 performance but only have room for 280 size radiators in the case's they selected. The Artic's 240 will also perform like other brands 280's also due to radiator thickness. Just my 2 pieces of wood as I don't have any cents. (But don't quote me on it.)
I come across this same issue trying to fit my Artic Freezer ll 360 into a Corsair 5000d case. This was my first PC build and I just assumed that it would fit as the spec for the case said a 360 AIO would fit, not realising the Arctic coolers are thicker. The Asus x570 Strix motherboard I have caused interference with the IO cover, the VRM heat sink and the CPU power connectors. I couldn’t find anywhere on the Corsair site that mentioned the depth of the AIO the case supports so even if I was aware of a potential issue there’s not much I could do about it other than buy it and be a guinea pig. Ended up buying a 7000d case which I was sure would fit and also having more space made cable management easier.
Been saying this for years, case's are if not the most important part you need to research before buying. Yet people buy because they like the design and then realise after the GPU or radiators doesn't fit
thanks for info , i am looking to exact mounting in my case MB500 Cooler Master. hace only space on front for 120-280-360 radiators...but thiknes for Arctic with coolers is 66 mm(radiator it self is 50 mm) so i look for instalation on rear side for coolers on radiator!
Computer building has changed a lot since my AMD Athlon XP 2200 build (2002-ish). I built a few more in the mid 2000's, but I haven't built a PC since.
6:30 im pretty sure you dont want the tubbing to be at the bottom because any air that is in the system will rise to the pump and cause issues like damaging the pump itself over time (never run any liquid pumps without liquid in it), bad cooling and if your running a silent rig it can cause noise aswell. You always want the tubbing to be above the pump at all times because air rises. if anything having the radiator in the top positions is always best as the air will be in the radiator and not in the pump but if you have to put it in the front make sure to have the tubbing coming out of the radiator be above the pump itself. as a computer tech youtuber I'm a lil shocked that you would recommend this and say that its best to have it at the bottom.
@@Britec09 I agree with Britec09 on this if one is mounting it vertically on the front......And we all agree that the best position is on top of the case horizontally which is how I mount all my AIO's.
very very true.... all cases I have seen have some quirk or other online reviews from the usual suspects can avoid a lot of issues but even then its worth measuring twice and buying once... I dont like AIO's I prefer a proper custom loop, and my current one in a core X9 that I have had for years I got it on purpose to fit a massive phobya 1080 extreme which is the size of 3x 360 radiators 60mm thick in the roof of it with some very simple brackets without having to take a dremel to the case..
It's hard to find an excellent quality case, and if you do your gonna pay. There's some good quality cases out there and there's a lot of junk cases too. A lot of people are hooked on good looking cases but the quality is bad. I'm not into how good a case looks but rather what all I can do with it. It's like having a sharp looking car that's always breaking down.
Well Sharkoon has always been a bit low budget, they def making higher quality last 5 years, but i wouldn't rely on a company like that to be perfect with their details and communication.
Happened to me as well then my old aio died , got arctic and I was so confused why it won’t fit also because of tall format RAM also didn’t helped I couldn’t install on top because of the ram. So if you have a CoolerMaster TD500 and wish a arctic 360mm you will install it on the front , it doesn’t fit on top. I believe if I had short ram there is a chance it would had fitted on top but I can’t 100% that so be warned
Can you just have a good amount of fans to keep your pc cool? I don't like the idea of a liquid freezer in my pc, so I'm just talking about normal fans.
I don't know of a reason why you couldn't. However, you'd need a large heatsink for the CPU. To get equivalent cooling performance with an air cooler, you'd need a very big heatsink (the alternative to a radiator). The main advantage of a liquid cooler, that I know of, is that the space it takes up is moved to a different part of the PC case. The heatsink of an air cooler would need to directly contact the CPU.
@@o0Sazie0o That should work very well. I just meant that if you have a CPU that produces a lot of heat you'd need a large CPU cooler for it. I think I was a little nearsighted because I thought only of cooling the CPU. More airflow is great for the other components too.
That is the problem with views, people are frightened to say anything negative in case they jeopardise there chances of getting more stuff sent. So they haves sold there sole to manufactures to get free products.
Hope this helps you out. Drop us a LIKE 👍

This is the issue with all these cheap manufactures, they tend to go for looks over form these days and skip key elements.
Poor information from case manufactures is a big issue.
Sure is

Yeah, very common
Case manufacturers used to provide the dimensions. The good ole days.
Yeah they did.

Wow great video ! I guess lots of new liquid coolers being RMA back to Amazon!
Its easy for manufactures to add this information to there website.

Having on the bottom is the best place and thumbing up your own comment says it all.

i have this tecware forge with 2x200mm intake fan, can 280mm arctic liquid freezer mount behind of 200mm intake?

PC is not for sale, so It will do for this cheap build.
I need a PC case - not a drone. ;-)
I take it you mean RGB? well build one without, simple.

@@luchvk I think I'll stick with the normal fans, so long as I got enough air flow. It should be fine.

great video
Thanks!
I am sure alot of people will gain knowledge from your video.
TH-camrs only reviewing the good points of a product, hmmm.

yes
Some TH-cam builders think that manufactures should build their parts exclusively for them
You're missing out
👍👍
👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Never been this early
Thanks for watching
First !!!!
I am always first lol
@@Britec09 ofcourse haha
Just made this mistake and the gpu doesn’t fit since the radiator is in the front
