NZXT Kraken 120 AIO RL-KR120-B1 in a Silverstone Milo 12?

[HeyItsChris]

What kind of performance do you get from the NZXT Kraken 120 RL-KR120-B1?

 

What kind of TDP can it handle, typically with a 110CFM 120MM fan at full speed 100% 12V?

 

What kind of temps should I expect?  Because I plan on using a low profile 120mm thin fan mounted with a 140mm to 120mm adapter, then mount the radiator to the chassis with the tubes facing down so the case panel will close (might need to trim a bit with some modding to get it to fit) but anyway, I was going to mount a fan on the out side of the panel so I get a successful PUSH-PULL configuration going.

 

I may be cooling a 5950X possibly.

 

I plan on removing all dust filters for maximum airflow triming the metal around the 80mm intake, so i may fit a bGears 84cfm 80mm x 25mm led fan in the front as intake to the GPU chamber & then mount a thin 120mm to the chassis's 140mm fan slot with a 140mm to 120mm fan adapter & mounting a 140 or 120mm fan on the outside of the case side panel to successfully act as a push pull configuration.  Although height restrictions of about 35mm will limit it, unless its going to fit like a glove?  How thick are thin 120mm fans anyway, like 12.5mm vs the normal 25mm?  since I think there is 35-40mm of room between the chassis fan mount & the side panel that would be 25mm thickness of the radiator + 12.5mm = 37.5mm of thickness would touch the side panel snug as a glove.

 

Thanks

Nobody will be able to objectively tell you what TDP your setup will be able to handle, too many factors such as ambient temp, airflow factors, fan type, case , cable management, GPU positioning etc

 

Ultimately you should just go with the TDP rating of the cooler, not what fans you will use or case modifications you make. TDP ratings are king. Assuming you get a cooler with a TDP greater than your CPU output, then you are looking good. 

 

Any other changes you make to improve airflow in your case or using better fans with a push pull config will aid in your cooling but these changes are supplimentry and shouldn't be relied on to give you adequate overall cooling.

Would you or someone else who is a wizz at watercooling, create me a aio with clear vinyl tubing with 25% - 99% potent isopropyl alcohol and 75% distilled water & be able to put it all together if I pay for all the parts & ship it your place & you build it to my liking & I pay you a service fee of your desired amount & ship it back to me?

I personally wouldn't have the time

But someone else might be able to. Have you never watercooled before ? Outside of AIO I mean. I only ask because if you have, creating your own AIO would be relatively simple.
