Just a quick one.

I have a Corsair air 240 case. I currently have a H100i in the case but i want to build my own custom loop. The case has a 120x 240 radiator support on the front of the case but i dont think it will be enough to cool my OC CPU and my GPU on the one rad. So I was thinking of installing a 120 rad in the top of the case. But then there is no room for the fan to sit on top or below the rad. If I were to do put the radiator in the top I would need to mod the top of by case to fit the fan, and at that point i could just add a 240mm rad instead of the 120. Or i could install a 80x160 mm rad in the back of the case and not need to mess with the case. but then I would need to get two 80mm fans and they are loud as far as i am aware. 

 

Would i be better going the simple route or going for a bigger radiator in the top?

If it was me, I would mod the top of the case, then run 2 x 240 rads in it. 45mm thick if possible, if not 40mm.

 

Your going to need minimum of 60mm clearance for the fan and rad in each location. 

 

I think you'll be able to mod the top of the case and keep it pretty clean, due to the plastic fascia on the top of the case.

Yea. i think that is the best option. would it be better to put the radiator on the outside or on the inside. it will be an exhorts vent as well so it would be better to have the fans underneath the rad.
