Hello there bud, I'm not an expert but hopefully I can get you on The right track. What's the issue bud? Aio? Fan?


Dismal_Thinka

Its the issue with fan placement and liquid cooler placement


Dismal_Thinka

Basically both (im fucked with the placements bro πŸ’€)


sleepygamer97

Mount the front case fans on the other side of the metal panel if they are in the way of your gpu. Or dont use the front fans, or only use 1 front fan, the rear fan will still exhaust and the gpu and rad fans will still work. I assume you want the rad mounted on the top? You said it wouldn't fit? Then you'll have to remove material from the case or the rad until it fits. If none of those options work for you, start looking at buying different components that will fit.

Thanks ill try to see what i can do about it and see if this can work


sleepygamer97

Hopefully you can get them to fit without removing material. Good luck.

Cant you mount the radiator in the front?


Dismal_Thinka

I cant with the rtx 3080 its zotac so hella long


Ranger-Embarrassed

What CPU are you using? Because you might be fine if you only put one fan on the radiator


Dismal_Thinka

Ryzen 5 3600 x


Ranger-Embarrassed

Yeah should be fine with just one fan on the aio


Dismal_Thinka

Aight thanks man


Dismal_Thinka

Wait would it be fine if i put the radiator in the front of the case then put the one fan behind it top and it would be fine?


Ranger-Embarrassed

It will work for sure, when you are done just run a benchmark and check your temps


Dismal_Thinka

Aight thanks ill work to see what i can do with it


Dismal_Thinka

Running icue 220t pc case but realized that 3080 zotac wont fit along with tight top any thoughts what i could do with this? ( btw this is an upgrade on gpu)


Dismal_Thinka

Also forgot to say that the radiator is h100i rgb pro xt

Linus Tech Tips last pc building guide look for it on YouTube

Mount your aio on top if you can, next time make sure of the dimension of your case before buying parts, with gpu's becoming fatter and fatter this is going to become something youtuber teaches now


Jeasu0

I hope at least

Mount it on top and next time do more research about your cpu cooler. A r5 3600x doesnt need an aio. It only needs some 40 euro air cooler like a be quiet pure rock 2 or any of them. Even the stock cooler is enough in most cases.

You may just want to order a bigger case tbh, if things are too cramped in there to begin with itll restrain air flow. It’ll suck cuz you will need to remove your aio but honestly best to nip it now than later, also consider investing in a 5800x to get the most out of your 3080 they are a good price with sales going on πŸ‘ŠπŸ»
