Jase R Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I have recently been looking at the obsidian series and 1000d and saw all of the water cooling options. After watching YouTube videos, I have noticed that they typically have been putting the two 480mm and 420mm radiators in, but leave the back with just normal fans, so it prompts me to ask this question. Can a 240mm radiator still fit in the back of the case with the 420mm up top? Also, is it just preferred to have fans in with the mix of radiators? Like would all radiators and no fans be possibly hendering me? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auskie Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 In theory, yes. I am waiting on parts to arrive in the mail now and then I will be able to confirm for you. Be cognizant of the radiator thickness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase R Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 Is it better for me to run all rads or have some fans in there also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrgooden Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 You can do that. I almost did it myself. But honestly, with 2 x 480 and a 420, a 240 is not needed. Additionally, it is nice to have the two case fans in the back to exhaust the heat out when inside gets warm. I run my fans, 16, at 700RPM, so it stays quiet. The case fans really help exhaust the extra heat. Sadly, it does not support 2 x 140 MM fans. At least not LL140s without modding. 1 of many disappointments with the case.

Zotty Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I am also a fixed rpm type of guy.. I also run around the 700rpm Mark. Moves enough air in the 1000d to keep things in check..,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
