How to Mount a Second Liquid Cooler in My PC?
Asked by

Hey everyone! I'm considering setting up two liquid coolers in my PC. Right now, I have a 360mm cooler installed at the top, which cools my CPU. My case has space for an additional 240mm cooler. I'm curious about how to mount a second radiator. Is it even possible to do this, or is it typically reserved for systems with dual CPUs? I'm still pretty new to building PCs, so sorry if this seems like a simple question!

You might be thinking of liquid coolers that come integrated on some high-end GPUs. If you go for a custom loop, then yes, you could potentially add multiple radiators just for the CPU, but it can get complicated and isn’t always necessary.

A 3-stage cooler usually means it has three fans, while a 2-stage has two fans. To help you out, could you clarify what you’re trying to achieve with two radiators? Also, it's crucial to know your specific components before proceeding. If your current cooling setup is working fine, it might not be necessary to change things, but I'm here to assist you further!
PCBuilderTom: Thanks for the clarification! My main components are a Ryzen 9 9900X CPU, an RTX 5070 TI OC GPU, and a Tomahawk X870E motherboard. I'd like to maximize cooling efficiency!
