Thermaltake Water 3.0 Ultimate
Question about Thermaltake Water 3.0 Ultimate
Since it is possible to add 3 more radiators, I would like to ask if any of you know if this makes a difference? I plan to mount the radiator in the front. That is, to attach 3 new radiators in the front to pull the air in and to use the 3 enclosed radiators to pull it again afterwards. I hope I have been able to explain this, simply put there are 3 in the front and 3 in the back. The newer, better ones, first and foremost to draw in good air. Do I need a 6-way PWM adapter?

It is important to ensure a good air flow in the enclosure. Whether it's push, push-pull or just pull makes little difference to the radiator itself. I tested it with a 240 and a 360 radiator and all results were within 2°C at the cooling liquid. So practically zero difference at the GPU or CPU. Ultimately decided on push setups (3x120 + 2x120) for both radiators so you don't see the fans inside. The air is then transported out of the case with 1x140 + 3x120.

2 x 140mm radiators would also be possible. I was thinking of the ML140 Pro.
I would be super grateful for any suggestions!
As far as I know, it is always better to move the air out of the housing than to let it in.
However, I would also recommend the 140s, as more air can be moved with less rotation, which in turn is reflected in the noise level 1 to 1.
and if you do decide to go for a push/pull configuration, I would definitely prefer 6x 120 over 3x120 + 2x140.
It does make a difference, but it's so small that it's not worth it. With push/pull you will have a few degrees less than with push only. In addition, you also have to consider that the whole thing will be thicker than it already is. So for me personally it wouldn't be worth the money, but you have to decide for yourself.
