NZXT H440 Water cooling questions

I just watched the LTT video on this case, and I thought I heard him say something about a HDD mount hidden in the bottom, but I didn't notice it. If I remove all the drive cages at the front for a radiator, is there actually another place to mount one, or am I limited to the SSD trays? Also, if anyone has tips or opinions on water cooling in the case I would love to hear them.

As of now, I'm using the Corsair H80i, I have 2 fans and the radiator in a "sandwich" config using the very top fan and removing Two bays. Most builds I've seen that run dual radiators would usually use the top mounts. Which is what I will also be doing when I switch to my CM Nepton 240M.

There is a space for a HDD at the bottom, i have my res/pump on top of that HDD.

i have a 360 rad with fans at the front of mine so i had to take out all the HDD bays.

 

hope this helps

H440 has more than enough space for water cooling

I have a 240mm rad at the top of my case and a 360 at the front. They cooling the CPU only at the moment but im waiting for my GPU waterblock
