AMD Ryzen Threadripper - Is Liquid Cooling Neccessary?

[Wildnomad]

Normally if there's plenty of space, they'll put it in the top by default.

It's only when there are restriction in the case not supporting the size of the radiator in the top (doesn't apply to this as can support up to 420mm on the top), or if there are other restrictions such as RGB RAM can cause a clearance issue with the radiator in the roof as the RAM itself is quite a bit wider and so hits the radiator. This again is not an issue with your build as you don't have the vengeance pro RAM which is the RGB stuff.

This is a really roomy case, so great for these threadripper builds that require more breathing room.

Hi Spyder,

Thanks for all your help on this. One final question on the Fractal Meshify S2 case. Can you adjust the speed on the pre-installed fans?

Absolutely, you can set a custom fan curve that ramps up and down according to your needs 👍

Just to embellish on this, it has a little fan hub in the case with the case fans connected, it allows automatic control by the motherboard based on temps, or you can set your own static speeds

Here's a little diagram on how it all connects

It’s such a good bit of design, I love it.

Ok. So the case fans speed up and slow down automatically depending on the temperature?

The controller converts them to a PWM connector on the motherboard, so you can fully set them to be automatically adjusted based on temps off the motherboard, it's a simply setting in the BIOS, or the motherboard control software which is AI Suite for Asus boards.

Thanks for all your help Spyder, you're a rock star! I'll probably place my order this weekend.
