Why do I see some people that do top mounts they mount the fans the opposite way from what you did which would be intake. Like I noticed inside my instructions for my H115i it shows to mount the fans intake side towards the bottom of the case for best performance.
Thank you for covering the little things like which direction is which on the fan and showing how deeply seated that breakaway cord needs to be. I spent hours trying to get one of those installed based on the instructions last night. After finding your video I got it working in about 20 minutes.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I've been stuck trying to find someone who mentions that breakout cable for so long!!! I really appreciate the detail you went into!
@@PotatoesRnice haha some people don’t have the brain capacity to read they need to be babied and have someone tell them so in the end they really don’t need to do jack shit
@Artemis Prime hi, explain by right part? Right aio for your cpu? And I remember spending a couple hours just to realize that I was screwing in something wrong lol.
You have no idea how much this helped! I wanted to mount it on the top but my case doesn't have room so I had to go to the front. And since the instructions aren't clear on whether to have the fans inside or out I searched forever and stumbled across this beaut. Thank you!
Thanks for the video! This was the main part I was concerened about when building a new PC and is often the part skipped over (or sped up) by the hundreds of other PC builder videos I have seen!
Fantastic presentation, went through the basics nice and slow ... easy to learn from this. Now all that I have to do is to determine if you can plug in a 3-pin connector labelled "motherboard" from the water block to a 4-pin AIO_PUMP header without smoking something.
That should specifically be covered in the manual but yes, I believe the labelled motherboard should plug into any fan header (4 pin or 3 pin) without any risk
Bravo! This video is exactly what I needed to see. I just bought a NZXT Kraken X53 and was searching how to mount the radiator TOP with the fans in PUSH orientation. It looks like all the necessary hardware for this [top radiator][fans push] orientation is provided in the kit. Thanks a mil!
Just came across your video. And loved the way you take the time to explain in detail and clear voice about what has to be done and how. Definitely a new sub. Thank you

I asked for a video on replacing a video card. I am upgrading my two sons computer from a 1050ti to a RTX2060 Super SC. I know there are lots of videos out there that tell you how to do it, but I want a video from a pro that I can trust. I need to know when to uninstall drivers and install the new ones. Thanks guys... You guys rock!!!
@@CoalitionGaming the GPU upgrade vid needs to be out before Christmas..... Look at how many people are getting them right now! You can't buy them! God Bless Guys!
Thank you thank you thank you! This video was super helpful, way better than looking at a manual I don't understand.. You even helped me before i bought the AIO so i could see if the cooler is compatible with my micro ATX motherboard.. Thanks so much for this video!
thank you for this video!! I had one question: what is the reasoning behind putting the radiator fans as exhaust when top-mounted? Would there be weight problems with the radiator being suspended from the fans? Or is it just preference? or something else?
This helped me so much! Thank you so much!!! This is my first time installing something like this to my pc and since I am new to pc building and such this helped so much! It turned on and worked first try! Edit: Hey where do you plug in the fan header on the motherboard cause I kinda messed that up and I can’t configure the fan speed!
Great video, loved it and showed me what to expect when it arrives, now my motherboard has a non removeable backplate b550 tomahawk, but it sounds like this should not be an issue. The other other thing i noticed is you said that you took cooler back off then turned cables, this is not a problem for most people, however those of us that run 4 sticks of ram 4x16 will encounter an issue with A1 not fitting, in that scenario the tubes would need to be pointed down and then the display easily corrected in the software! Great video though, love it!
Just built my first pc, brother did most of the work, wish he explained it but he seemed pretty focused especially once i told him it was over 5k in components lol
Always thought you need the hoses connecting to the rad need to be higher than the pump so no air bubbles will ever get caught in the pump which will cause it to fail.
Mine is mounted in front w hoses on top after a year and a half of having my pc I heard bubbles recently and now red light on mother board by CPU and CPU temps were really hot so I’m assuming my aio broke which is why I’m watching this video 😑
any tips for a change? I have a case with 3 fans in front, and currently a 120 aio - the rad on the back. I'd like to get a 240, but only room for this up top... would it be advisable to add a case fan to the rear? or am I good with just the increased aio and leave the back open... TIA!
Yes put an exhaust fan on the back of you switch to a 240 AIO in the top. It's not totally necessary though, so whatever you'd like. Most people add the fan though.
Switched from a Wraith Prism to Msi 240r Aio ( $100.- Ny bucks ) = Night & Day with my R7-3700x @ 4.5ghz with Temps under 73c afters hours of intense Cpu demanding games 🕹
The pump/block is supposed to make SOME noise. If it has been working fine then now all of a sudden started making a new noise, something might be wrong. Make sure your radiator is mounted in the top of the case or if its in the front, tubes down like I demonstrated in the video, and see if that helps the sound go away.
I got a cpu fan error fixed that by ignoring in bios. The fan shows n/a in pc monitoring in cam but does show in cooling should I switch the aio pump to cpu fan ?? Its currently connected to aio pump on motherboard
What screws are you using to screw in from the top, I want to mount my 360 ml mastercooler and the radiator has small screw holes and my pc didn't come with any that fit it, I cant find what I need
Usually the F1 error says what specifically its erroring on. Like CPU fan, cha fan, or something else. Usually you can't bypass F1 error on CPU fan though, so I'd make sure you have the CPU fan connector hooked up properly per the manual or this video, to the CPU fan header.
@Coalition Gaming I am struggling mounting the pump and plate to the cpu it seems the screws I have won’t fit in the bracket, but it came with it, i must be doing something wrong, help
Make sure you reference the manual to identify exactly the correct screws and mounting hardware needed for your CPU socket. Just sounds like you are using the wrong hardware.
May I ask you if the screws u used to mount the rad on the case, were included on the NZXT box? or did you use other ones? I'm pretty sure mine came with the long ones to hold the fans to the rad, but not sure if I have the short ones... If you can tell me, I will appreciate it.
Can someone plz help, just built my first pc, booted up the computer, the bottom three fans, didn’t not turn on except half of the 3. Realized I had a rgb pin left to put. And all three bottom fans work now with rgb. But the kraken fans don’t have rgb. Are those suppose go into the cpu fan or chasis fan pins?
How can I fix my 3 pin not working. When I have it plugged into my Motherboard my PC won’t turn on but when I have it unplugged it works perfectly fine but the LCD screen isn’t on
That's not supposed to happen. I don't know what to tell you. Check that you aren't shorting anything out, aren't plugging something back into itself, and that everything is routed well. I'd say refer to the manual in addition this video to make sure you are doing everything right. You can also probably join the discord or email/call customer support for that AIO.
Hey I have a quick question for you guys! I bought a liquid cpu cooler with the pump in the the radiator instead of the cpu block. I can only mount it in the front of my case, so should I have the tubes up or down in this?
Hey, I really liked your channel, I'm just now attempting to build my first pc and I got all the parts, a 3 fan EVGA AIO included, and I was just wondering if its recommended to add thermal paste with this kind of AIOs or just use the stock one they bring, would it make it better if we add extra thermal paste from the beggining?
Quick question do I just got my first pc build done but when I turn on my pc my fans are not running but they were already installed with the case what should I do?
So i bought kraken z53 rgb aio. Got it all installed but didnt have extra usb header to set up the display on pump. The rgb fans have a In and Out port on side of fan. I plugged one in and out cord to both fans but the second one does that get plugged into that nzxt rgb port. I cant access my fan speed or color. Im not sure if thats because i dont have usb header plugged in or not.
USB header is for communication and control, so yes that's why that's not working. I cover another thing NZXT sent in this video that will help you get more USB headers, not sure if you saw that part.
Best video of all of them, but I'm still confused about fan wiring. Is the in/out wire necessary? You didn't talk about that. Also can I just connect the radiator fans down to two SYS_Fan headers or do I have to use the splitter. Last, I connected the pump to the CPU FAN but my motherboard has one called PUMP FAN. Was I supposed to connect it to that? Super confused
I'm pretty sure I mentioned whether some motherboards have a Pump fan header you can use or just CPU fan header. The answer for that since you're still confused though: whichever is fine. For the fans, I talked about the breakout cables in the video. The fans plug into a splitter that plugs into the pump block. That's all.
Hey how do u know if the water is running? Like does it make a noise, the z63 I just installed doesn’t make noise besides the fans, are u supposed to hear water?
Not supposed to hear water no. But the pump should make some noise if you can get your ear close enough. The Nzxt cam software also tells you what rpm the pump is running at
Trying to trouble shoot my kraken z53. Cpu is getting very hot and I’m thinking the pump isn’t working correctly? The fans and rgb both work fine? Any clues on how to tell if the pump is actually working or not? I also tried plugging the pump into cpu fan and pump fan on the motherboard?
put your ear to it. You should be able to hear it buzzing/whirring if its powered up. Also, you can just open NZXT CAM and see if any RPM on the pump is being registered to the software there.
Thanks for the information! But I think I’m just dumb 😂 This is my first build and the pump screen was saying 31 degrees Celsius and I totally thought that meant like 100 degrees in Fahrenheit ……. 😅

Why do I see some people that do top mounts they mount the fans the opposite way from what you did which would be intake. Like I noticed inside my instructions for my H115i it shows to mount the fans intake side towards the bottom of the case for best performance.
Do the fans come with male to female adapters?
Would it be legal to sandwich and AIO radiator between fans?

I had one question: what is the reasoning behind putting the radiator fans as exhaust when top-mounted? Would there be weight problems with the radiator being suspended from the fans? Or is it just preference? or something else?
No reasoning other than just finding another way to mount it. Weight wouldn't be an issue in any configuration unless you didn't use enough screws.
