There seems to be extensive info on here about cooling the Cerberus but I was wondering what exactly was different for the Cerberus X (which I have on the way!).
I have an RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition which is only 268mm long so I theoretically have enough room for an AIO cooler on both the front and bottom. I'm only going to get an AIO to cool the GPU if I'm unsatisfied with the fan noise/cooling performance of the Founders Edition card.
The Cerberus X page says:
Don't these all contradict each other? What is actually supported?
Regarding the top fan(s):
Before getting these questions answered, here's my conservative guess as to what I can do:
And to summarize all the questions:

The Cerberus X page says:
andTwo 140mm x 280mm x 30mm radiator in front / bottom with 25mm fans on front and 15mm fans on bottom
and120mm x 240mm radiator in front + 120mm x 240mm radiator in bottom (with SFX rear plate or ATX rear plate)
Maximum of 480mm of radiator possible.
Don't these all contradict each other? What is actually supported?
Regarding the top fan(s):
That's only with the handle bracket, right? If you get the top fan mount you can install two fans, right? 120mm or 140mm?One 120mm x 15mm fan on top fan bracket (120mm x 25mm possible but depends on motherboard)
Before getting these questions answered, here's my conservative guess as to what I can do:
Code:
+-----------------------------------------------+
| +-------------(top|fan mount)--------------+ |
| | 120mm | | 120mm | |
| +-----------------+ +-----------------+ |
+-------------------+ +--+ |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| SFX PSU | | |
| | | |120x
| | 240mm| |25mm
+-------------------+ rad | |fans,
| (cpu)| |intake
| | | |
| | | |
| +-----------------------------------+ +--+ |
| | 240mm rad (gpu) | |
| +-----------------------------------+ |
| 120x15mm fans, intake |
+-----------------------------------------------+
And to summarize all the questions:
- Can I use 2x280mm rads or should I use 2x240mm rads?
- Can I use 140mm fans in the top fan mount or is it just 120?
- Can I use two fans in the top fan mount or just one?
- What are some good 15mm tall fans for the bottom rad?
