ASUS Intel ROG Maximus Z890 Hero & ASUS Intel ROG Maximus Z890 Extreme. Cooling.

As hot air rises in the case. Is it good to have a radiator on the top?

It will not be a problem, it's one of the only places you can have one in many cases.

I guess the radiators fans blows up air? I think Lian Li had written the wrong measurements about radiators 360mm according to them and sites. But a 394mm suits perfect. I even think that a 420mm could have suited. But the last screws of the 26mm against 394mm would be hard to attach. On the top. But to be honest i could not screw in the last screw bottom to the left. Maybe i putted the radiator a little wrong. The screw was to short. But no harm.

Top mount is typically ideal for the longevity of the aio for front and side mount you would need tubes down which most aio cannot accommodate.

Pump below radiator is always ideal for aio if not as the liquid slowly permeates over time the aio pump will become more noisy.

In your specific aio I'm not sure where the pump is though but just looking at it in your case it looks like it was 99% meant to be top mounted.

In theory, yes.

In the real world? Maybe, maybe not. If using passive (no fan) cooling, then sure, you need to facilitate the natural flow of hot air up and out. But with active (fans) cooling, it matters much less since the fans will easily counter and overwhelm that rising force. More important than where they are located is the direction of the flow of cool air through the case. You don't want the fans working against each other.

Still, if me, I would put the radiator on top with its fans blowing through the radiator and out the case. Same with side mounted radiators. I don't like the idea of fans pulling cool air into the case through the hot radiator, resulting in the heated air being dumped into the case. Sadly, I know that is how some radiators are configured.

Double check if you don't have any screw holes offset. There's usually two places to screw radiators in, because of the 140/280/420mm models which are wider than the 120/240/360 models. Also, watch this before you do, in case you need to adjust anything

I saw in the video that the liquid last for 5 or 6 years. Warranty for 6 years for the radiator. Can the liquid be replaced after many years?

Not easily, the fittings aren't designed to be removed and the pump may/will be worn out by then.

If you're interested in maintenance or modularity, you build a custom loop, which you could have done for the price of that AIO and gotten better performance and longevity.

There are 3 fans 120mm and the power to the pump. I guess that i should connect them to the motherboard waterpump pins. 24w supports. and 36w supports.

I thought about this board ASUS PROART Z790-CREATOR WIFI, Intel Z790, 1700, ATX, 4 DDR5, HDMI, 2 Thunderbolt, Wi-Fi 6E, 10G & 2.5G LAN, PCIe5, 4x M.2. I was remembering that Intel will release new motherboards and cpu's next year so i may wait to buy a more expensive board.

https://www.asus.com/se/motherboards-components/motherboards/proart/proart-z790-creator-wifi/ I thought about a Intel i5-14600K LGA 1700 5.3ghz. The processor seems to use 180w at max and my recently bought AIO cooler ROG Ryuo IV SLC 360 ARGB must handle it good?

The front IO panel on the case case itself has 4x USB-A ports and 1x USB-C port, so it uses 2x USB 3.0 headers, and 1x USB-C header. The Proart Z790 seems to have 1 Usb 3.1 header? The most modern gaming motherboards seems to have 2. I need two for my Lian Li o11 dynamic rog xl chassi. There are one for the usb ports and one for the chassi.

I don't understand why you would pair a $4-500 AIO and a $4-600 mobo with a $190 CPU?

This entire thread is either the most ridiculous build I've heard of in years, or a literal troll thread. Nothing about this makes sense.

I was remembering that Intel will release new motherboards and cpu's next year so i may wait to buy a more expensive board.

For ~$200 CPUs? Paired with $500 AIO and $500-1000 boards?

Is anyone else here a little bit in shock?

 

[Oldschool297]

It was only a temporary motherboard and cpu. I come to the conclusion after that Intel will probably release Nova Lake next year. So these motherboards seems a little expensive to buy. When they create new motherboards to the Nova Lake it may be a better choice to buy a expensive to the Nova Lake.
