As the video transitions to the hoses up, front mount part, he indicates the problem is you might hear water noise or gurgle. This is a concern and there is a potential performance issue. Most of his complaints are with the bottom mounted radiator and the pump as the high point. Watch the video again after the first round of testing. Unless you already have the 280mm and don't have options, it's better to go with the natural fit. You likely would need to keep those 120mm fan turning at a very high clip and the entire point of using a 280 vs a 240 is to be able to get away with lower fan speed. Those 140->120mm adapters come with some efficiency loss and you may not utilize all of the surface area available. Edited Septemby michaelemeryĭo you think a 280 rad with 120mm fans would fit and give any benefit over a straight 240 rad? Note: I do hope Corsair develop a 360mm radiator with L bend attachments at the base so it could front mount on the 4000D Airflow. I am willing to spend or switch up the fans for the most optimal. I currently have 3x 140mm and 1x 120mm, so I was planning on running 2x 140mm intake and 1x 140mm on top and 1x 120mm on the rear for exhaust. So given the criteria of looks, performance, and having a reliable configuration, what is the best way to water cool this case using an AIO? Could you loop the pipes through a cable gap at the bottom? The fan configuration for the 4000D airflow is either: FRONT: 3x 120mm or 2x 140mm. I am considering a case upgrade to the 4000D Airflow because of the great thermal performance reported in the reviews, and it looks much nicer than my 680X. And finally, a 280mm radiator at the front looks terrible. I don't have LPX RAM, and I would rather rock my Dominator Platinum RGBs. You also can not mount a top radiator unless you have low-profile (LPX) RAM. I'll be testing the fan configuration out of the box and then. You must therefore mount the radiator "upside-down" in a not recommended orientation. 1.5K 88K views 1 year ago In this episode of the airflow series, I'm testing the Corsair 4000X for airflow and temperatures. One early review of the Airflow 4000D pointed out that you can not correctly mount a 360mm radiator at the front because the gap between the radiator and lower shroud is too narrow to accommodate the water lines. Gamers Nexus recommended orienting vertically mounted radiators with the water lines entering the bottom to reduce the chance that air bubbles will cause circulation problems. ![]()
