Seems like there is no point in leaving the side panel open in your case. I had a bit different experience with 2x240 rads as exhaust in Fractal's Define S nano. Opening side panel made much larger difference of 5-6C. Eventually, I ended with a single 280 that did better job due to much less...

The bottom rad gets enough air for sure. Just curious, if you fix the fan speed and compare side panel open with closed? My guess there will be some difference because the front and top rads are kinda in less than ideal intake as for them the fresh air comes mostly from rear and it is way less...

Interesting. If all three rads are exhaust, where is intake? I can only think of mesh side panel or even better no side panel at all. Otherwise the pressure within case will be reduced. That will also negatively affect cooling performance and noise levels.

I have no personal experience with EK rads (only alphacool, swiftech and Hardware Labs), but AFAIR from reviews, they are far from best. And yet you have way more than enough of them to cool anything at reasonable noise. You have not mentioned fan's speed, so I can only guess the actual noise...

It's my two cents on the whole thread :)

Well guys, here are few points for you to consider: D5 is kinda industrial pump. It accidentally found its way into computer cooling (same as aquarium pumps). The pump will work fine in -10C to +95C range. The problem is the original plastic top which is rated for 0C to 60C. Since we all use...
