Hello, asking some advices for air directions...
...in 400D Airflow with Arctic Freezer II 280 (rev4 instructions) and 3x Noctua 120... instructions have intake and exaust mount explanations in Preparation (first) step (unscrew/switch/rescrew fans...).

Because :

When i apply RAD at top of the case, i have to push on RAM sticks (seen same RAM, case, AIO and same story on reddit), i will have to file the fans with a file by 0.2+mm, same for motherboard on output block panel side.

Or should i put the RAD in front of the case and move my 2x Noctua 120 on the TOP ?.. 4070ti will fit...

... in such case which are the good AIRFlow directions ???????

RAM KF560C32RSK2-32 = 39.2mm high (0.2+mm too much :cool: )
7800X3D
B650E-E
4070ti

Was that too much paste, or just what's needed ?.. i removed bc i wanted to look at possible 7000X3D hotty dammaging :p

In through the front, out the rear + top - or in the case of top mounted radiators, in through the front + rear, and out the top is also an option. Just make sure to install a filter at the rear intake.
That's all there is to 'good' airflow directions.


Liquid Freezer II radiators are quite a bit thicker than the norm of 27 and 30mm, so of course it's going to present complications with some cases.
Corsair probably only bothered to test clearance with their own AIOs and ram kits, which is also why(probably) there's no clearance limit mentioned on the product webpage like some other cases.


Since it fits smoothly at the front, install the radiator at the front. It's not that big a deal, IMO, the hot take that is the front mounted radiator.

Well thanks, i think this image reflects what you mean (if AIO's intake) ?! :
Found in DukDukGO images

Case specs
/
AIO switches
///
Exhaust
Intake
Pull Exhaust

Which way the AIO ?.. i turn the fans to intake position ?. fans at the exterior or interior matters ?

Thanks.

no u really cant over do it if u do its a mess thats about it as long as your non conductive paste ... ur aio seems real dirty if you have a squirter on your kitchen faucet spray that rad till its clean then set out in sun wraped in a few paper towels to dry then use a hair dryer to make sure u got all the excess moisture gone

I cleaned the AIO ;)
I'll add a bomb compreesed air/gaz pass too.

To file i buyed:

EDIT, i'd better use others fans, that are not so big.

That's when i removed the AIO (after), not before applying it ;)

OKay, i'm done with this case, front intake 2x Noctua, rear intake 1x Noctua, top AIO exhaust (i will go buying a file to file AIO fans plastic a bit).

Thanks.
I did what seens my only option : edit : fixed, it works ;)

And last will be mount the limed (fans) AIO (Exhaust)
