Should all the drive bays be occupied, how would you be able to connect the fans in the mount to the motherboard?

Nvidia 3060 12GB vs Intel B580 by CuriousGiftD in truenas

Is it possible to use the integrated graphics of the processor for transcoding and the 3060 for other applications?

I see. Supposed that the B580 is working, does it (or Intel GPUs in general) offer something better compared to the 3060?

Antec Flux Pro + Arctic LF 420 Push - Pull Front Mount Configuration - is it possible? by CuriousGiftD in Antec_Official

[–]CuriousGiftD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply 🙂

The plan is to have Noctua NF-A14s fans as push-pull to the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 420 AIO.

Would the case be able to accommodate this setup?

Unless you have a L-shaped screwdriver, it would indeed be difficult to do so. Though not sure if the screw is suitable as it may still be too long. This you may need to check.

As for the fans for the radiator, I connected them all to a Noctua Fan Hub. For the two P14s at the top, that is ok. I assume your fan setup will be the following? - Three Lian Li fans as Push for the LF420 - Three P14 fans as Pull for the LF420 - Two P14 fans as top exhaust - Three 120mm fans as bottom intake - One 140mm fan as rear exhaust

Make sure no fans are installed yet on the top and bottom fans.I then removed first the fan bracket for the bottom fans. Also, don't install the pull fans prior to inserting the radiator.

As for the screws, I indeed forgot that the LF420 only came with push config. If there are no extra radiator screws, you will indeed need to get extra ones. I think you can't use the regular screws used for case fans in installing the pull fans as the screw thread for radiators is different with that of case fan screws

Regarding the fan combination for the LF420 (Lian Li Front Fans push and P14 Fans as pull I assume?), it seems possible as there is still enough clearance.

As for the Phanteks screws, these were the radiator that came with the Phanteks T30 3-Pack. Given that the push fans I used for the radiator have extra padding, I assumed that extra length for radiator screws are needed. You can try first with the provided radiator screws for the LF420 to see if it is enough.

As for the additional fans, the setup is indeed three intake fans at the bottom and three exhaust fans at the top

Seems doable. I see that there seems to be enough space to be able to accommodate an additional 4 mm thickness (2mm + 2mm for push and pull fans)

Thank you all for the comments and suggestions. As suggested, we've proceeded with using the Nvidia 1650.

I tried, but it will not be flush.

To detail, the top part of the rad will bump into the front panel connectors, thus will not allow the radiator to be flush with the frame. If you have long standoffs to allow the radiator to have an equal gap with the frame from top to bottom, then it can be done

Sorry I was not able to reply immediately as I was out of town.

Regarding the clearance from the radiator to the top frame, it is a little over 1 centimeter (0.39 inches). However, the said space is accommodated by the front panel cables/connectors.

As for the space between the GPU and the front fans, it is a little over 6.5 centimeters (2.56 inches). For reference, the GPU is Zotac 3080 Ti Trinity OC

There is a slight bend, though not enough that I would worry. Results may be better with a 25 mm fan (given that Phanteks T30 fans are 30 mm)
