Hey everyone, welcome back to the channel! Talking about my fellow Corsair 5000D Airflow enthusiasts—this rig is a real challenge. My 360 AIO won’t fit at all; it’s like trying to squeeze through a tiny hole. I took a look and was shocked to find zero space between the CPU slot and the radiator—no gap, not even a thread. Even the fan plates are touching the CPU slots. I’ve seen many builds with the radiator on top, but this setup is completely out of the question.

Now I’m stuck figuring out where to install the AIO side panel or front. If I mount it sideways, the radiator needs to be inside the case, which feels awkward for the fans. If I go front and back, I’m not sure if I can fit everything properly. I’m open to any tips or creative solutions anyone has. Thanks for the support!

They don't fit a 360-degree mount. Only the front part works. The top can hold no more than 280 units. I don't know why anyone would try to draw air through a hot radiator, but okay...

Hey there, Sherlock10. It seems the setup you described isn't a 5000D Airflow, but more like a 4000D one. The official Corsair site lists a 5000D model, but I see you're using a 360mm iCUE H150i Elite Capellix. That should work nicely with your MSI X570S Carbon Max WiFi as advertised. If you share the AIO you're planning to install, I can help confirm compatibility.

Hey there! Thanks for the message. I'm using the h150i Elie LCD and noticed that most people with top mount setups have their CPU power connectors near the fans. My socket seems to be at the same height as the radiator/fan, but I'm mounting it on the front now. The Z690 Aorus Elite AX is my motherboard.
