People have told me that its a rlly bad idea to put it there, but whwre should i put it in this fishtank case?

The side. which seems to be the only option left. (though idk if the tubes will reach)
Ideally I would have bought a case that could fit two rear fans, like the [NV7](https://phanteks.com/product/nv7-black/)
It isnt great placement but if nothing else works for your case it really isnt that problematic… people run their aios like that for years without any issues, its mostly noise/longevity which is possibly affected by this.
If you cant put it on the side, run it like this and check if you see any problems.
(sorry for bad english, not english speaker)
Not like that. Anywhere other than that. Worst possible place for it.
On the side, possibly set as exhaust es the head coming from that rad is quite high
Bad case for multiple rads options. CPU rad would need to be on top and GPU on the side.
I would put GPU radiator on top and CPU radiator on side, make sure both of them blow air out of the case
CPU rad on the top and GPU on the side.
not really the proper case for double liquid cooling.
Why did you even buy that model tho
This picture makes me uncomfortable lol
I have many good coolers for free
Not trying to be a dick here but why would you possibly need two?
Mount on the three fan side bro
If i were you, i would just swap the case. That placement is horrible and your tubes don’t seem to reach for the side spots either
Not there. Anywhere but there.
Mark this as NSFMR 🫣
No shot this was a prebuild right?
Just a clarification – the pump in mounted on the coldplate meaning it’s on the GPU itself, not on the radiator. The issue is – if the pump is the highest point of the system – air will get into it, eventually causing it to fail.
For your question – you can put the radiator on the side of the case like how I did on my O11 Dynamic. Doing so will insure the air stays in the radiator.
I’d look into a case where you can mount the gpu rad at the front, cpu at the top/side as the GPU rad is not making it to the side.
The side the motherboard is on so it brings in fresh air with zero obstructions.
Place cpu aio on side where 3 fans are and place gpu on top. there is no other good option here to make it look good and work properly
Looks to me like you could relocate the radiator to where your white-bladed fans are on the back. Not sure not dimensions with this picture having tempered glass in the way, but that’d be my vote.
What you have will work but not well, and not forever. It should go like this: pick your parts and case for performance needed, ample cooling, aesthetics (in this exact order).
There’s also nothing wrong with—in the future—air cooling either GPU or CPU and eliminating at least one radiator.
For starters I would take the packing stickers off of your case.
any play but there
I watch gamer nexus explaining about this. the best position is for the fan above the pump.

Here’s how I did mine. I don’t have a top place to mount one, the side works great!
If I had a rad for my GPU I would place it at the back.
That’s not a pump. It’s a radiator.
It has to be situated higher than the pump because any air in the system finds its way to the highest point, which isn’t good when the highest point encompasses the pump. Pumps, and more critically the heat exchanging surfaces, don’t work well when they are half filled with air, rather than the liquid that needs pumping.
Definitely not there. Up or on the front
That is not a pump.
Firstly find out where the pump is in that liquid cooled GPU. If it’s in the radiator it’s fine, if it’s in the GPU you need the radiator above the GPU. In fact if the pump is in the radiator it doesn’t matter where it goes.
You want to make sure that you put the pump above the GPU like your CPU cooler is
Switch to lian li xl case so that u can put the aios at the top for cpu and at the back for the gpu and 6 intakes from bottom and sides maybe that is the best i think
Um… that’s not supposed to be there
Why an AIO for the gpu? Overkill imo, another point of water leakage/pump failure within the system with almost zero pros over air cooling. Maybe the card runs a couple degrees cooler on average, certainly not buying any significant thermal OC headroom, if any.
Heat rises bro. Always pull air in the front bottom or back and exhaust up. Work with nature not against it.
Definitely not there
