hey is it possible to mount a radiator on the top of the R5 and still keep the caps it brings for noise reduction or is this bad i really want to mount at the top and also keep the caps it brings for ultra quite and looks and also dust which i wanna keep out the case ... thank you
 
Solution
No, those would need to be removed.
If you are worried about acoustics and dust you should invest in a quality air cooler.
You can keep the caps on, it will be cheaper, run quieter (on average) and cost much less.
