Nekkusu Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I'll be upgrading my rig with a new cpu / mobo and the Obsidian 500D RGB in the next few weeks. So I need to figure wich of these AIO's can be mounted on top. (H80i ,H90, H100i, H105, H110i, H115i pro, H150i pro) The website says that 2x 120mm/140mm fans can be mounted on top, but only 2x 120mm / 1x 140mm radiators. I'm kinda clueless since this is my first AIO, I've only used air coolers until now. I've tried to find something on youtube / reviews whatever but everyone seems to prefer front mounts.

I think the site is a little confusing. You can mount these rads to the top: 280mm 240mm 120mm 140mm It looks confusing as they are stating that you can mount two separate 120mm. I don't know why someone would mount two separate 120mm rads, can't imagine a use case for this, though I am guessing the reason they don't support the 2x 140mm rads are the end tanks might be to long. Personally just go with a 240mm or 280mm rad if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekkusu Posted June 11, 2018 Author Share Posted June 11, 2018 So uh If I'm right a H115i pro is gonna fit on top? It's labelled as 240mm rad but the size is 315mm x 143mm x 29mm dafuq. Or is the "240mm" part just talking about the mounting points? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper69 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 The H115i Pro is definitely a 280mm cooler with 2 x 140mm fans (ML ones) so I'm at a loss to think where 240mm would come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is the "240mm" part just talking about the mounting points? The radiator "size" is defined by the fan's that it is equipped with. i.e. 360mm radiator accepts 3x120mm fans, though it will be longer than 360mm. 280=2x140mm fans 240=2x120mm fans Cases that specify they can mount fans/radiators that support 140 and 120mm will have mounting holes for both. Any Corsair 280mm or 240mm AIO will fit the top. Corsair has done a good job of leaving enough room for their radiators in their cases. The H115i Pro is definitely a 280mm cooler with 2 x 140mm fans (ML ones) so I'm at a loss to think where 240mm would come in. A 240mm radiator has two 120mm fans mounted next to each other. It is just another option. The 280mm has one more water channel and is 40mm longer. You get a little more cooling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem enjoy it I think it will work well. BTW set the rad 140mm to exhaust, it will help with GPU temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
