Log Jonsbo A4 dual rad build

@Shark00n what is the absolute maximum top radiator+fans thickness this case can support?

 

[Shark00n]

Something between 50-55mm if I remember correctly.
~58 mm is 'theoretical' but you need space for the GPU riser

My combo is 30mm rad + 15mm fans. Was really annoyed that a pair of 25mm wouldn't fit but that because of my GPU waterblock.

Another question regarding the 280mm radiator: why haven't you combined 2 x 120mm fans with a 280mm radiator between the fans and the motherboard/GPU sandwich? Yes, placing a 280mm radiator on top of the fans will prevent the top lid from closing, but why not put the fans on top?

280mm rad would not fit in the end because of fittings and overall dimensions and m/b heatsink incompatibilities. Would take some modding to the spine and how the panels attach.
To attach 2x120 to a 280mm rad I'd need an adaptor, which would add to the thickness even more.
Î wanted a sober case, no outside the box fans.

Sorry for bumping an old topic. But how is the pump/res combo held in place? Did you drill some holes in the case or PSU bracket and used custom nuts and bolts?

I used some JB weld type epoxy cement on the FLT80's support bracket. It was the easiest, most compact solution I found.

I scuffed the places where the bracket would touch the A4's center spine and put some of that epoxy.
After 12 hours of drying, It's securely held in place. There's space to fit an allen key to do/undo the screws fixing it to the reservoir.

Don't have a good photo of it glued in, but it went right about there:

Ended up having to switch that top rad and fans combo for a 30mm rad + 15mm fans as they would interfere with the GPU block.
