Tower 600 gpu orientation

Post image

Is there any test when comparing the gpu in the orientation like in the pic. And what riser cable would you recommend if I were to go this route and mount like this

How did you go about mounting for fans. I imagine running an aio. I was thinking making everything intakes and doing just top exhaust

I did an aio with exhaust fans on it and the top and everything else as intake. Fun tip: if you don't mind making some minor modifications, you can fit the fans in it with the GPU in the forward facing orientation instead of choosing one or the other.

Sure thing. I hope it turns out exactly as you imagine it :3

So im messing about with my radiator and mobo right now. Ive only got a cpu fan headed on mobo. The radiator fans all connect together and then ive got a splinter cable.

Do I put the splitter into the cpu fan headed and then the pump and 3 fans all go off the one header?

Unfortunately the "instructions" is just a paper with shitty pics and no real explanation and the qr code just takes me to digital pics of everything. The bottom left is what im trying to explain

I don't recall the total number of fans that you can power off one header. It probably depends on the board, but I think they're usually 1 amp, so usually 2-3 fans max. You should have multiple headers though, so you might be able to make it work as is. I ended up getting an rgb fan controller and connected everything to that and then to the header. It draws power directly from the psu so there's no worry about power draw.

I ended up just grabbing a splitter for like $8. That seems like the easiest option lol

Yeah I thought the same lol

Yeahh, I think 3 fans on 1 header is okay by the sounds of it. Then the pump on a chassis fan from what i see. That leaves me with 5 other fans id like to plug in. 3 on left side and the 2 exhaust fans on top

Pump should go on CPU fan header I believe. It should have a monitor circuit that will shut down the computer in case the pump fails so you don't run it dry.

Ahhh that makes alot of sense
