Hey there! Your setup is being tackled well. The heat sink on the motherboard does limit options, but choosing the 5000D over 4000D gives you more flexibility to place the radiator properly. Front-mounting isn’t the only choice—just confirm the board supports it and verify the airflow path. Let me know if you need further help!
The radiator appears quite dense. It seems to impede airflow without being overly bulky.
Check the fans on the opposite side and secure them into the top, as shown in the image.
The tubes are positioned on the side with the fans. Are you suggesting taking out the fans and placing them on the opposite side of the radiator? Here’s an image of the AIO setup.
Support the idea that the radiator and fans don't have to be inside the chassis frame; they can be placed outside, which explains why the top panel of the 5000D can be removed or adjusted. You're free to move the fans—place them on the top side of the radiator. This approach is similar to what users discuss for the 5000D and Arctic Freezer II 360. See the forum thread here: https://forums. It's also what I'm trying to do.
If the tubes don't cause issues and the radiator fits the available space, you should face minimal problems. EDIT: Uncertain about placing [ ----- Radiator ------] [ ----- Chassis -------] [-- Fans -] [-- Fans -] since Artic only provides compact radiators with short fan mounting points. The fans and radiator share identical mounting holes... Unless you need longer screws through the fans → chassis → radiator. In my case, fitting the radiator at the top wasn't possible, and placing fans inside was difficult due to the radiator's thickness (40mm, but the case only supports 30mm).
Would you consider turning the fans over now that they’re positioned at the top? (That seems to be what the image from Hinjima suggests.)
