So, I decided to build a budget rig for my bedroom, didn't

>aio mounted to psu
>perfectly good 120mm fan mounting right next to cpu
>blocks pci lanes
>white aio
>LEDs
>850w psu with no gpu installed
all of my why

>>56574213
Like I said, doesn't fit on the back fan mount because of the white plastic on the mobo

No GPU yet, I'm just testing shit, the same reason there's no RAM in it lol

I like white

aio because it's budget, my main rig has a custom loop

>>56574213
Don't know why I bothered explaining, you're either trolling or didn't read any of the OP

Isn't that plastic removable or something? Also, surely you can use a few pieces of wire to kind of hang it from the fan mount holes even if it won't be aligned rather than straight-up slapping it on top of the PSU.

Also, if that's a budget PC and you won't even use a dedicated graphics card, you could've used the stock intel cooler just fine and you don't need a 850W PSU, holy fuck.

What kind of chinese piece of garbage watercooler is that? Looks like something a special ed kid made in arts and crafts.

some Silverstone unit I think

Doesn't seem to be removable, and I will be putting my 970's in this when I upgrade my main rig. Think I'm just going to get a new case, but the question still stands.. Will it be okay sat on top of the PSU for a few weeks?

Deepcool Maelstrom 120T

Use a fan as a spacer to mount the 120mm

At least make it blow air out of the case OP, even some zip ties will do.
What case is it?

no top mounts?

>>56574180
What cooler is this?

>>56574180
Only if you plan to roast marshmallows in that case. Literally how does it not fit with the white plastic? its only as wide a 120mm fan. But no adding an additional 50-100 watts of thermal to your PSU is not generally considered a good idea but I mean I guess since youre not even running a GPU in it, what the hell?

I just wouldn't add a GPU if you're going to run it like that. Power draw of the GPU plus the additional heat would probably be enough heat to at least reduce the lifespan of the PSU.

Also, does it have a 120mm intake? You could always put it there.

>>56574235
What lottery did you win where a pair of 970s and an z170 system is considered budget?

>>56574180
put something, anything between them to let them breathe or better yet, hang the radiator on one screw on the back

How is it even possible to buy a garbage case with no top mounted fans? Even a $35 deepcool tesseract has dual 120mm top mounted fans.

It'll be fine for a while

Though use zip ties to put it on place, don't leave it like that
