Yes it fits! The only problem was the motherboard which is a millimeter to big because of the decoration cover on the left side at the rear panel which touches the radiator. Hence i was only able to use the middle screw holes of the radiator. You will Not have such a problem with motherboards with a smaller cover.
@KEVIN.44 I can not say for sure. The decoration cover from the MSI MEG X570 Unifyis is quite big. I assume that the decoration covers of other motherboards are a little bit smaller. We are talking about 1mm space. So basically i assume that there will be no problem with other motherboards. Ultimately i had also no problems, i just wasn‘t able to use the left screw holes from the radiator.
If I use a 240mm instead, I should be able to shift and mount the AFIII cooler further away from the shield of the motherboard right? To avoid them touching
My man, you are so lucky. Most of the views came to see if Liquid Freezer III 360mm fits in H6 flow (me included). PCPP shows them as invompatible. I saw that you said mobo cover was causing trouble. Do you mean the one on the top middle, next to the io and on top of the cpu socket?
Thank you for your comment! I mean the cover on the left, above the I/O ports. ( grabcad.com/library/motherboard-i-o-cover-1 This example cover is that what i mean) The radiator touches the cover. It is round about 1mm too far forward. Hence i was only able to tighten the middle holes
Does the fact that the radiator is touching the io heat shield cause any rattling noises or cause any other issues? I just got the same AIO and would really hate to send it back.... Wish there was a cover you could buy that wasn't so tall.
Hi Bubert94, I can not say for sure. The decoration cover from the MSI MEG X570 Unify is really big. I assume that the decoration covers of other motherboards are a little bit smaller. We are talking about 1mm space. So basically i assume that there will be no problem with other motherboards but i also don’t know all motherboards. Ultimately i can say i had „actually“ no problems, i just wasn‘t able to use the left and right screw holes from the radiator. I haven‘t seen a z790 aorus pro x in real life yet, only pictures. It looks like the decoration cover is a little bit smaller. So i would assume that you will have no problems.
Hello could you clarify how hard was it to install a lf 3 360mm radiator and how much it hit up against the heatsink/mb. Woukd you have been able to shift it to the left/side a bit more so it was away from the motherboard and it still works?
@@Kirill17 i just posted some pictures. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxqnt_xP70bNTnZNkdvKAeK9QdGvenlUTs?si=_upeVDfgGmgvBH9_ The length was not the problem. I was only able to use the screw holes in the middle.
Trimming may help. I also have a B650 Tomahawk, I will try to install the third fan by filing it a little. Or should i do it like you? Is it going to be problem if i trim it? Or is there any problem with 4 screws?
So, we had no problems with 4 screws yet. This build is now running since 6 month without any issues. The radiator holds up well. So if this is an option for you, i would try first the variant with 4 screws. If it is not the result you expect, then filing the edge of a fan might be an alternative.
Hey thanks for showing this build! You answered exactly what I was looking for. However I think it's worth noting that at 2:50 we can see you had to angle the radiator so it wouldn't hit the motherboard, which is also why you could only use the middle screws. That would drive me absolutely crazy but still good to know that with some compromize it will fit
Thank you for your comment! Yes indeed, that way is probably not a compromise for everyone. I think a motherboard with a smaller i/o shield should fit. As you can see in my post, it is only a millimeter which causes this problem ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxqnt_xP70bNTnZNkdvKAeK9QdGvenlUTs?si=_upeVDfgGmgvBH9_

Hi Semitruck1, i can not say for sure, I haven‘t seen a B650M Gaming Plus Wifi in real life yet, only pictures. It looks that the decoration cover is a little bit smaller but i can not give you a guarantee. We were only able to use 6 screws of the middle screw holes of the radiator.

hi nice build, i love my h6 flow and need aio for my case, the nzxt alternative aio costs 200 more so the arctic is a no brainer, would you recomend a motherboard with no left decoration at all for it to fit better?
Hi, Thank you for your comment! It is not easy to say and depends on the platform you gonna use. AMD with AM4, AM5 or Intel with LGA1700 ? Asus Prime boards B550/X570-P might fit. Also TUF boards B650 / X670E or B760(Intel) But i cannot say for sure.
It’s a good question. I assume it will not or you will at least have the same problem as we had. The upper edge of the cover looks very similar like the msi meg unifiy which we have installed and it touches the fan. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxqnt_xP70bNTnZNkdvKAeK9QdGvenlUTs?si=PwIoXnKNZ-RGjCNr
No, in our build we were only able to use 6 screw holes in the middle of the radiator. So, it is not mounted in a proper way but enough tightened in my opinion. For sure, this is not everyones way or option but it doesn‘t have impact on the performance of the system.

All the comments here are about how you fit the ALF3 cooler into an H6 flow, mine included. I got a X870E Aorus Pro Ice and i'm nervous the VRM heatsink is going to be too big for it and I may have to file down that last fan edge to get it to not touch. If it doesn't work i'll be having to pay up extra for an NZXT Kraken Elite 360 RGB instead I guess. Worse cooling too :/
@mask3d350 I ended up using a dremel tool on one of the fan edges to get it to fit. Works fine that way. Also couldn't fit my fans in the bottom daisy chained because there's a metal lip on the right side that blocked the cable. Had to orient them sideways and not chain them, use both sides of the hub port for them so I had to buy a 2nd Corsair hub for them and a usb 2.0 splitter for the board
Finally because od your incredible build i found out that Arctic freezer III 360 will fit in h6 flow

Hey, would the arctic cooler fit with the b650e aorus stealth ice, and otherwise with the b650 elite ax ice?
Anyone know the heatsink thickness of the mobo in this vid? I’m trying to know if this would fit with another board and just need the measurements
According to google the msi meg x570 unify's height is 8.6 cm

Hi was the Gpu sideway bracket included or you bought one of the internet for extra ?
Hi, we bought one extra. It is not included.
What intake fans do you have on the side?! Also why not intake fans on the bottom?
Side fans are:
be quiet! Light Wings White 120mm
