Dezent777 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Greetings, from cold Finland. One day, I was thinking about getting a Hydro series water-cooling system for my FX-8350, because many people recommend H80 or H100 for FX-8350 CPUs (and it would be good, because I think that the original heatsink is slowly killing my CPU :/ ). But, there is a problem. My case is a mATX model (an old Acer M1201, which has been overhauled totally) and they say that the radiator MUST BE mounted on the back of the case, where the case fan is usually located... My case only supports 92mm fans and even the H60 requires a 120mm case fan port. Can the radiator be mounted elsewhere, like top of the case (you can always cut metal :D) or do I possibly have to buy a ATX-case (and that would possibly require me to buy a ATX-mobo)? Thanks in advance. Sincerely, Dezent777. PS. English isn't my first language, so, sorry for any typos :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 you can mount it any way you like as long as its firmy attached and gets air flow my m/atx was mounted on the outside at the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dezent777 Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 Okay, thanks for your answer, the probability of getting a H100i is alot bigger for my FX-8350 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
