Case: Silverstone PS05
Motherboard: Asus Crosshair IV
Cooler: Asetek (H50)
The Issue:
- There's not enough clearance to mount the H50 rad where the rear fan mounts. The H50 rad hits the top fan grill and the screw holes wont line up.
- I've mounted the rad on the top fan grill temporarily, however I had to offset the rad because it was hitting the MOSFET heat sink on the Crosshair motherboard.
- This makes fan placement difficult... If I put fans in the top fan bay, they don't line up with the rad. I've mounted a 120 mm fan on rad itself, on the inside of the case, but it touches the MOSFET heat sink and blocks the top fan bay cover.
Two questions:
1 - Will a single fan push exhaust setup significantly reduce the cooling performance of the H50 below that of an air cooler?
2 - Will there be issues if the plastic of the fan shroud touches the MOSFET heat sink on the motherboard
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks for your help.
