I am wanting to get an AIO to help keep the CPU cool since it runs hot unless the fans are maxxed out. However, this is also my first PC and I don't really see any places to mount a radiator in the case. So, my question is can I get an AIO that fits in the acer case. Or am I going to need to get a new motherboard and case to be able to install one.

    What community members with your Acer Predator 3000 models have been doing is upgrading the oen cpu cooler and using a cpu dry cooling solution upgrade like the Noctua NH-U9S-CH-BK chromax.black CPU Cooler that has a 2nd fan option of adding a second cooling fan at the other end of the thermal unit to make it even more efficient for cooling the cpu, this cooler is very well built of very high quality materials and at the same time is very reasonably priced at about USD $85 for such a high quality cpu cooler.

    That is the only product that I would 100% recommend and imo is one of the best cpu cooling solutions on the market for the Acer Predator 3000 gaming desktops as its even more efficient than an AIO water 240mm cooler and smaller and will fit into your PO3-655 desktops mobo spaces at the cpu. Good luck and hope this helps you out.

    Yes, I wouldn't bother with the extensive mods likely needed to put an AIO cooler on. The Noctua does a decent job for a much lower price and doesn't require any modification.
