COOLING CONUNDRUMS

DOES THIS LOOK LIKE A MESS YET? As someone who prides themselves on clean builds, it feels like a mess. We’ve installed the 240mm AIO here, it’s a finicky process. We secured the CPU block first, ensuring its digital display is in a legible format, then secured the radiator in position at the rear of the chassis. There’s so much wasted space here, and the way it’s installed looks a bit haphazard. We’d recommend you go for a full-on 280mm if you can.

Then it was a case of routing the cables from the CPU pump around to that GPU area. We’ve strapped them to the interior frame again, and run them to the top of where the cables are, again using cable ties. After that, the DDR4 went in, as it was the easiest way to sort the cables out.
