View Full Version : Thermochill Radiator Measurements

I'm trying to figure out what radiator will fit the best on the top of a Lian Li A05n case. It will be external so I also need to figure out a good way of mounting it.

My current idea is to mount either a thermochill 140.3 or 120.3 using one of the thermochill shrouds to mount the radiator. The fan hole side would slip underneath a fan grill that I already have on top of my case (triple 120 iandh stealth grill) if I were to mount a 140.3 which would create a sandwich of case-shroud-grill and the pressure would keep the shroud in place. If I were to mount the 120.3 I would just have the screws go through both the shroud and the grill.

In both cases the shroud would be upside-down and I could just screw the shroud to the sides of the radiator and would be a pretty good looking mount.

What I need to know in order to figure out which to use are some measurements on both radiators and a shroud.

Here are some pictures of the measurements I need:

Thanks for any help and I'm definitely open to suggestions. I just want to make sure I can still use the top ports of the case with a large radiator on there. Also, I want to stick with a thermochill radiator because I like the way they look and they offer excellent performance. Not to mention they also have holes on the side of them for mounting.

is it 140.3 on your first pic? if yes, A to B is approx. 24mm

Don't know if this helps, but here's a snapshot of the 140.3 on top of the A05 case:

Not sure which one I grabbed but I was looking for the measurement of both a 140.3 and 120.3. Thanks for measuring that one


@ Shazza

Lol, it sure looks huge compared to that case. If I go with a 140.3 it will be hanging about 80mm past the back of the case which I would be okay with considering the performance increase.

In the first pic... mount hole to end tank

PA120.3 24.5mm spacing - 32mm
PA120.3 15mm spacing - 21.5mm

Thanks :D

If the holes on the shroud are at least 12 mm wide then a 120.3 should work perfectly.
