I could store your OC profile for easy access, bring it back to stock, and then play with it.
I'm not certain about creating a new thread, but now that we're discussing upgrading to a new cooler, I have some questions. My setup was built from a case that closely resembles this one: (uncertain if it's identical, but it matches 95% with the Cyber Power model, featuring the branding on the front panel). When I received the computer, the back panel had a 120mm liquid cooler installed, while the front panel had a standard fan in the lower section and no fan at all above. The upper part was covered by a solid metal skin with vents. The top panel had a fan with vents on one side and no fan on the other. I'm unsure if this case can accommodate 240mm or 280mm liquid coolers, and if it does, where should I install them?
The image shows the interior (I'm not at home right now). This photo is taken directly from the case linked above. The actual parts differ, so I've adjusted it to reflect what's actually present.
It's the nzxt s340 model. Cyberpower simply places their logo on it, just like with other cases, but they still indicate what the case is when you scroll down to case selection. It supports sizes of 240 or 280mm, and the front is the only compatible area.
If you place a kraken x62 280mm cooler in the front panel, it would be advisable to have two 120mm case fans exhausting air from the top panel, and one 120mm fan exhausting air from the back panel. The intake fan should be positioned where air can enter the system.
Don't worry. Just place the 280mm rad at the front and have the rear and top fans exhausting.
SgtScream clarifies the placement and airflow direction. The 280mm cooler should have the radiator facing inward toward the CPU, not outward. This ensures hot air moves back and is expelled by the top fans and one rear fan. Regarding the Kraken x62, it seems suitable for a 240mm/280mm setup, but there may be more efficient options available depending on performance versus cost.
