Installation

Since I had no case that could fit the watercooling component of the Sapphire HD 3870 X2 Atomic, I stole the pictures from Fudzilla (with permission).


The cooler will usually be installed on the back 120mm fan slot of a case, near the CPU cooler.


As you can see it is a tight fit sometimes, even when using a normal sized CPU cooler.


Everything installed and ready to go.

You need 60 mm of clearance between case back and CPU cooler to slide the cooler in. On the back of the case (where you screw on the cooler) you need an area of 125 mm x 125 mm to accommodate the fan and some additional plastic from the case.
