Hi all

I have a Meshify C case and a Sapphire rx 580 nitro SE in the case

Now i have 2x corsair 140 Ml pro as front fans but would like to put these on top and replace them with a Kraken X62.

Will that work in terms of free Space between the GPU and the rad/fans?

Right now i only have the heatsink and cooler that came with the ryzen 2600 CPU. Dont know if that is enough for not extreme OC?

Thanks
 
You are probably gonna have problems mounting it on top. Your motherboard heatsinks will probably get in the way. You will need to mount a 280mm rad to the front of the case. If you want to mount it on top, then go with a 240mm radiator. The 120mm fans should clear the mobo heatsink and you can leave your 140mm on the front.

THNX, i'm just wondering if i need the Kraken x62 since i might only overclock a little, not extreme. And not sure if the standard heatsink en fan that was supplied with the amd ryzen 5 2600 will be enough.
 
I would see how the stock cooler performs before I bought an expensivr liquid cooler. It may do better than you think.

Also, liquid coolers are not that great. They are loud, expensive, and break while only being a few degrees cooler than air coolers.

I would look at the Cryorog H5. It is a lot cheaper and can manage a decent OC.
