As a supplier of the Legend Series Chassis, I often get asked about the compatibility of our chassis with liquid cooling systems. Liquid cooling has become an increasingly popular choice for high - performance computing, gaming, and other applications where efficient heat dissipation is crucial. In this blog post, I will delve into whether our Legend Series Chassis can support liquid cooling and the associated details.
Understanding Liquid Cooling
Before we discuss the compatibility of the Legend Series Chassis with liquid cooling, it's essential to understand how liquid cooling works. Liquid cooling systems, also known as water cooling systems, use a liquid (usually water or a water - glycol mixture) to transfer heat away from the heat - generating components, such as CPUs and GPUs. The basic components of a liquid cooling system include a radiator, a pump, water blocks, and tubing. The water block is attached to the heat - generating component, absorbing the heat. The pump then circulates the heated liquid to the radiator, where the heat is dissipated into the surrounding air through the radiator fins.
Design Features of the Legend Series Chassis
The Legend Series Chassis is designed with several features that make it a potential candidate for liquid cooling. Firstly, it has a spacious interior. This ample space allows for the installation of large radiators and other liquid cooling components. Whether you are planning to install a single - radiator setup for a basic liquid cooling system or a more complex multi - radiator configuration for extreme overclocking, the Legend Series Chassis provides sufficient room.
Secondly, the chassis is equipped with well - thought - out cable management options. Good cable management is crucial for liquid cooling systems as it helps to maintain proper airflow around the radiator and other components. By keeping the cables organized, you can prevent them from blocking the airflow, which could otherwise reduce the efficiency of the liquid cooling system.
Thirdly, the Legend Series Chassis has pre - drilled mounting holes for radiators. These holes are strategically placed to ensure optimal placement of the radiators for maximum heat dissipation. For example, some models have mounting holes at the top, front, and bottom of the chassis, allowing you to choose the most suitable location based on your specific liquid cooling setup.
Compatibility with Different Types of Liquid Cooling Systems
All - in - One (AIO) Liquid Coolers
All - in - one liquid coolers are the most common type of liquid cooling systems for desktop computers. They are pre - assembled units that typically include a water block, a pump, a radiator, and fans. The Legend Series Chassis is highly compatible with AIO liquid coolers. The pre - drilled mounting holes are designed to fit standard AIO radiator sizes, such as 120mm, 240mm, and 360mm. Whether you are using an AIO cooler for your CPU or GPU, you can easily install it in the Legend Series Chassis.
Custom Liquid Cooling Loops
Custom liquid cooling loops offer more flexibility and higher performance compared to AIO liquid coolers. They allow you to choose individual components, such as water blocks, pumps, radiators, and tubing, to create a personalized liquid cooling system. The Legend Series Chassis can also support custom liquid cooling loops. The spacious interior provides enough room to accommodate multiple radiators, reservoirs, and other components. Additionally, the cable management features ensure that the tubing and other cables can be neatly routed, preventing any interference with the liquid cooling components.
Considerations for Liquid Cooling in the Legend Series Chassis
Airflow
While the Legend Series Chassis is designed to support liquid cooling, proper airflow is still essential. Liquid cooling systems rely on the radiator to dissipate heat into the surrounding air. Therefore, it's important to ensure that there is sufficient airflow around the radiator. You can achieve this by installing fans in the chassis to create a positive or negative pressure environment. For example, you can install intake fans at the front of the chassis and exhaust fans at the rear and top to create a steady flow of air through the radiator.
Component Placement
When installing a liquid cooling system in the Legend Series Chassis, careful consideration should be given to the placement of components. For example, the water block should be placed directly on the heat - generating component to ensure efficient heat transfer. The radiator should be placed in a location where it can receive maximum airflow. Additionally, the pump and other components should be positioned in a way that allows for easy access for maintenance and troubleshooting.
Compatibility with Other Components
It's also important to ensure that the liquid cooling system is compatible with other components in the chassis. For example, the water block should be compatible with the CPU or GPU socket type. The radiator size should not interfere with other components, such as expansion cards or hard drives. Before purchasing a liquid cooling system, it's recommended to check the specifications of the Legend Series Chassis and the liquid cooling components to ensure compatibility.

Conclusion
In conclusion, the Legend Series Chassis is indeed capable of supporting liquid cooling systems. Its spacious interior, well - designed cable management, and pre - drilled mounting holes make it a suitable choice for both AIO liquid coolers and custom liquid cooling loops. However, proper airflow, component placement, and compatibility with other components should be carefully considered to ensure optimal performance.
