Looking for short tube CLC AIO for Cougar QBX

[Midiamp]

Hi all, just bought Cougar QBX, and loving the build quality of this compact case. I wanted to install a closed loop AIO, but it seems I'm having difficulty with the tubes. I'm using Deepcool Captain 120EX, and outright, the tubes are too rigid to properly close the side panel. I can force it, but not going to risk it.

Any suggestion for a good 120 mm AIO with flexible tubing? Or perhaps a recommendation on whether to go AIO at all even? I'm planning to do all air again, with Noctua NH-L9X65 AM4 (using Ryzen 7), and the accompanying 12 cm fans as side intake and top exhaust. However, I live in SE Asia, it's very humid, and dust mostly mixed with humid air makes dust gunk accumulate quite fast. Since the case doesn't exactly have side intake filter, I'm trying to go AIO since less fan for me means easier maintenance down the line.

Fractal Kelvin expandable should work. You can shorten the tubes to your liking, the pump block is a nice low profile, and has the connectors on the side of the pump.
The unit uses copper alphacool rads.

Thanks for the input, but too bad, looking around the Kelvin isn't sold in my part of the world. I think I'd settle for Noctua NH-L9x65 for the moment while looking for other cooling solutions.

I do believe that the Celsius line is essentially the same, but may or may not have similar availability issues.

Asetek issues again?

That's what prompted it initially, as far as I can tell.
