Arctic Freezer 2 420 + Phanteks p600s

Hi guys

Has anyone installed an Arctic Freezer 2 420 or even 360 in the front of a Phanteks P600s? According to the manual itll take a 420 rad in the front, however im not sure if the AIO tubes will be long enough to reach the bottom.

Wondering if i should have just gone with the 360 and top mounted as exhaust

It will definitely take a 420 in the front, it definitely wont on the top (ask me how I know!), and I would have thought the tubes would reach wherever you needed them, they seemed pretty long - but im not sure hwat you mean by reach the bottom

The tubes are 45cm so will certainly be fine with a 360mm.

A 420mm probably is OK, you'll have to bend the tubes quite a bit due to the PSU shroud and the rad being 38mm thick, and it will also depend how long your GPU is for how then route them.

Thanks for this, thinking of potentially vertical mounting the 3080 to allow room for the tubes

If you do vertically mount and use the Phateks riser cable then remember that is only PCIe 3.0

plenty of room I'd say so long as you don't have any drive bays. You want the pipes to be at the top anyway do you not so they are at the highest point?

No, the pipes should be at the bottom for a front mounted rad
