Are your fans on the radiator placed as exhaust?

push/pull and intake,,, can see the backs of his fans mounted to the inside of the radiator

[elric75]

Ah yes indeed :)

But for doing a push pull you would need 2 commanders no?

there are 9 fans there?

I was considering doing a push pull on my h150i but I don't know how to manage that

[Zotty]

no as the aio controls 3 of those fans rpms

[elric75]

I could put three on the aio and three on the commander Irj same profile ?

But it i do this I will have

3 on the aio
7 on the commander
Could I use a splitter on the commander for the three front châssis fans?

Hey, great forum!!

I'm currently (trying) to put a build together, my first, but am struggling with compatibility, ive used part picker which says its fine, but i'd rather get proper expert advice direct from the source!

spec:


Obsidian 500D SE (already bought)

Aorus RTX 2080 Super Waterforce (has 2 rgb fans)
H115i CPU Cooler (2 rgb fans)
Aorus Z390 Master
64gb (4x16) Corsair Vengeance Pro 3200
EVO970 1TB

can you see any major issues with this build? My concern is the number of fans and how they integrate, or even simply fit into the case which already has 3 front fans!

Am I making schoolboys errors here?

Many thanks in advance.

Here is my build, just had some questions on the Corsair Pump noise and should I use the PWM header on the motherboard or corsair commander pro?

[Zotty]

hi bud.. if you want iCUE to control it then it need to go to the Commander Pro.. it most likely running at 100% if you have it on your Mobo..

It's possible to install a cpu and gpu hydro x watercooled system using a 240mm top radiator and a 360mm front radiator with an asus rog strix rtx 2080 super? Because the configurator sugget me to buy a rear 120mm radiator, a top 240mm radiator and a front 120mm radiator. Switching the gpu with for exemple an msi rtx 2080 super ventus give me ther configuration i want. The rog strix is too long or the configurator it's doing wrong? A vertical gpu mount can solve the problem?

Thanks, I snagged a pwm splitter for 2 fans and put the pump in #6 and all is well!

Hi Zotty, new user here with a question. I have this almost exact same setup minus the lighting strips, but I am hoping to add them. Right now I have the HXi850 USB and the H150i USB plugged into the Commander pro, but in the diagram the lighting strip hub is taking up one of those USB spots and the H150i usb doesn't seem to be connected to anything. How should all three of these USBs be configured? Thank you for any assistance.

[Zotty]

Hi buddy.... in that diagram the H150i would direct to a motherboard usb header.. Commander on another... if headers are an issue then an internal usb header extension card or normal mini/micro usb cables can be run from node/aio to rear IO.... hope that makes sense dude.
