380T compatible with custom loop watercooling ?

[Chester57]

Hey ladies and gents ,

 

im gonna build a new rig , this time i want something small but definitely overpowered..

 

Planned Parts: 4790K / ASUS ROG VII IMPACT / ASUS GTX970 Strix / Corsair Dominator 2133Mhz 16 GB Rams (maybe i can change the ram)

AND OFCOURSE  

 

as the case Corsair 380T.

 

<-(LTT Review)

 

Question is i want something small , 380T will provide this part and it can hold every part on my list.

 

BUT

 

i want to get a custom loop water cooling in it instead of something like H110 or H100i..

 

Do you think the 380T can hold a custom loop which includes both CPU and GPU ??

 

thanks for the help in advance

the issue with the 380t would be rad space, i think there are better options out there

[Chester57]

Yeah there are more options , but i really want the 380T, looks amazing and looks definitely better than all of the cases in the same class,

 

it has a spot for dual 120 rad and maybe with some handwork on the front side of the case it can hold one more dual 120 rad.

 

im still not sure about the watercooling both components with a custom loop instead of just watercooling the cpu with something like H100i.

The 380T is built with the H100/h100i in mind to fit. Im running that in mine atm. It should hold a 240mm rad up to 30mm in thickness togather with fans. Also in the front,, as you may know there is space for 2x120mm fans and i think after removing the drive bays and som cutting away metal you could fit another 240mm rad in there. than you have a limited amount of space just behind the radiator and the motherboard/power suply to fit reservoir and pump.

 

Im going with a single 120mm radiator in the bottom of the front so that you can get a better view into the case from the front. Otherwise the 380t is kind of boring in the sence that you acnt actualy see that much of your components becouse of the big radiator and the graphics car on the other side. changing to waterblock will improve astethics of the graphics card!

If you dont feel like modding the front that much i guess you still could run gpu and cpu on one 240mm rad altho maybe not overclocked.

Update: i got a second 970 from a friend as a gift so i changed the MOBO to Formula instead of impact. and since those wouldn't fit in 380t i had to use my old Cooler Master Stacker 810 which is 24 kgs or something like that while empty for now i cancelled with my plans for 380T iand i put it on my garage. 

 

Update 2 : if anyone ends up here while looking for a watercooled 380T here is a link to another build i saw on the internet which might help you
