Hi, no I would think not, as far as I know these are sealed units, the pipes do not disconnect. The radiator mounts inside the case. If you wish to mount a radiator outside the case you will have to build a water cooling system from parts.maybe stupid question but : i have a cooler master silencio550 that have two hole for liquid cooling i can unplug the tubes to place the heat sink outside the case ?
The new H220-X CPU Liquid Cooling Kit, i believe has the pump on the rad or side of it, but i somewhat doubt soft mounting would help much.xan_user wrote:while the variable pump is a great idea, id like to see the pump be on, or even inside, the radiator. that way, suspending, or soft-mounting the radiator unit would isolate the pump and fan vibration from the case and mobo.
Mostly it's motor noise & often the gurgling of air bubbles. Not sure how you could get rid of both entirely.Abula wrote:The new H220-X CPU Liquid Cooling Kit, i believe has the pump on the rad or side of it, but i somewhat doubt soft mounting would help much.xan_user wrote:while the variable pump is a great idea, id like to see the pump be on, or even inside, the radiator. that way, suspending, or soft-mounting the radiator unit would isolate the pump and fan vibration from the case and mobo.
Maybe. It seems mostly acoustic but you never know till it's tried.xan_user wrote:bubbles would be hard to deal with, but the pump noise should be better if decoupled from the mobo/chasis, then when mounted directly to the mobo,no?
to me it seems lie a logical extension of the SPCR mantra. reduce, decouple, under volt/clock.MikeC wrote:Maybe.
