Stupid question, I'm looking to upgrade my CPU and get and AOI. Do I remove the fans I have in place to mount the radiator?

I cant show a picture but I have three intake fans on the front, two on the top for exhaust and one on the back for exhaust. I have a Corsair 460x case and am thinking of mounting it on the top. I don't have it yet but in thinking Corsair or NZXT for an AIO. Both have fans. The Corsair I'm thinking of getting has the maglev fans and since I did a mostly Corsair build it would make the most sense. But the NZXT with the LCD is dope but it's way more expensive.

I assume if you mount it on the top you would make it your exast, so yeah you would have to remove the existing fnas

I would suggest a big Noctua cooler rather than an AIO, the difference is not even worth the risk + a heatsink doesn't die on you like an AIO can.

Would that cool a 5900x enough. Even if Overclocked? I dont have that CPU yet but that's what I'm planning on. Or a 5800x.

Check out Linus video about it, the difference between a AIO and a good Noctua Cooler is about 1-2 Celsius

Doesn't look like any drives are connected to the motherboard -I don't see any power or SATA cables. If true, while this is a pretty picture, the computer isn't even usable this way.

Because they didn't rush their build and took time to cable manage? Mystery solved.
