Hi guys. i'm planning an A4 H2O build and i was wondering if u cand help me with an advice on the aio. The thing is that i want to use as few cables as i can and i'm looking for an AIO with no SATA power cable, just a 3 or 4 pin power cable that goes in the pump header of the motherboard, and a Y cable for the fans to the cpu fan header and the A-RGB but that's optional and on top of that with tubes long enough to route them under the PSU. Does anyone run such a setup? I think i have a week now since i'm looking for such an AIO but i didn't find one that checks all the boxes. The fans are not that important as i already have some Nocutas nf-a12x25 lying around. Thanks.

I've this case with Ryzen 2600, 6600xt, and ripjaws (if it matters for clearance). 450w corsair sfx
I want to upgrade to 5800x3d, and believe this merits an AIO which I currently don't/never have had. I'm looking at all ID-COOLING AIO's, but I can't tell the difference between Frost, Dash, Aura, and Zoom. Specs all look the same to me. I was thinking of going with one of those once I clear it up, but replace fans with T30 with the removing the pads trick. My other option is the Glacier one mp240 (since the one that comes with t30 doesnt fit).
Do I in fact need AIO, are these good options to consider (given EK Basic is oos), and could I explore other GPUs in the future? I see one user recently commented (on previous page in this thread) that they're having temp troubles with 5800x3d and 6800xt![:\](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 "Unsure :\")

Guys, beside the 4080/4090 FE, Ventus and Suprim Liquid, is there any other 4080/4090 that fits the A4-H2O?
Maybe some of u have encountered this issue. As i was building my PC, i got all the work done but iget just a black screen.I moved the display to the onboard video output, it posts no problem. When I plug the hdmi cable into the gpu, it shows just a black screen. I think it might be the riser cable but i'm not sure.
I've set the PCI Express to gen 3 in bios but still no go. The case is the one with the Gen 3 Riser cable but it's new, it should have not be a problem.
The Gpu works fine on my other PC so it's not a gpu problem.
Any ideas on what to do next?

So Black Ice Nemesis GTS 240 133x278x29,6 could fit in this case, at least in theory? (if you slide it in). Can someone confirm this?
I am thinking to switch to a custom loop.
For now, it is Prolimatech Samuel 17 + Raijintek Aeuolus 14mm fan, also a very grateful combination for your nvme m.2, ram and vram temperature.
Can I ask where the heck you found a Prolimatech Samuel 17? Great cooler but it has been EOL for years now.So Black Ice Nemesis GTS 240 133x278x29,6 could fit in this case, at least in theory? (if you slide it in). Can someone confirm this?

Amazon has 5 when I checked just right now.

Yes, a great little cooler from the greater company.
Prolimatech is out of business for years now, but somehow Samuel and legendary Megahalems are still available to buy for a cheap price.
Prolimatech Samuel 17 CPU Kühler (caseking.de) ideal combination will be with a 12mm thick slim fan in this case, like one that was in the box with Scythe big Shuriken 2 if you can still find it.
With Aeolus which I have (13mm thick) you can close the side panel but you need to push a little bit

OK I admit it's been a while since I looked for one of these but I can remember searching all over like 3-4 years ago and couldn't find them anywhere, I might buy one just to have around. Too bad the mounting hardware hasn't been updated for AM4 and Intel 1200/1700.Yes, a great little cooler from the greater company.

I use my ncase m1 under my desk and will change to a h2o. I will reuse my mount for this. It's in german, maybe there is a similar solution in your country:

Hi, what is the maximum height for the GPU? My Old 980Ti Strix is 152.2 mm tall. Is it Fİt the case?
Hey,
your cpu, gpu and power supply are no problem. A good indication is the site pcpartpicker.com, you will find plenty of completed builds with the h2o, for example:
Sadly there is no build with your cpu cooler and the h2o to check out.
