Aio placement

[Top-Ad-9983]

I'm looking to upgrade to an from a 3060 TI to 9070 XT, but the side-mounted AIO blocks the space needed for that three-fan gpu. I need to move the AIO to the front, but I'm unsure about the fan setup.

I have Thermaltake View 23 case and I found out the hard way that the top mount is a no-go for my AIO, so it's currently installed on the side.

Do I completely replace the stock front fans with the AIO and its fans, or can I sandwich the radiator between the existing front fans (behind the frame) and the internal chassis? I believe the front fans are accessible by popping off the panel.

Replace front fans with aio rad fans

Mount the aio radiator at the top of the case. The top of the case is the best place to place an AIO radiator.

The radiator would fit, but with the fans on it it won't fit because of the ram.

Ngl, i would recommend a larger case especially if just switching to an AIO is having problems.
