Hey all,
So, I'll be updating to the Ryzen series CPU here soon, and will likely be overclocking the CPU.
Now, in the interest of cooling, I'm looking at getting a water cooling kit. I'm currently air cooling with the Hyper 212 Evo, but I dislike the bulky stainless steel look that clashes with my streamline black/blue theme plus I don't really want to use air cooling if I'll be overclocking a brand new CPU.
On to the question at hand, I currently use a Corsair Spec-Alpha case, which based on Corsair's own product video, can fit an H100i cooler on the front in a pull config. In the interest of efficiency I want to setup a push/pull which clearly can't be don't via front panel intake, based on their video.
Does anyone know if you can install said cooler in a push/pull if installed on the top exhaust on the Carbide series Spec-Alpha case? Or perhaps I'd be better off getting a new case in general? Any input/opinions would be appreciated. I want to avoid as many store trips, shipping waits, and returns as possible.
Thanks.
