Watercooling for FT02?

[crouchgod]

Hi!

 

So i'm having trouble what to do really.

The Silverstone FT02 case is probably the only one i wanted and liked the most.

Now, i was about to put a H110 GTX in there, but that won't work sadly without modding.

It might fit at the bottem, but it will block my GPU.

 

Its to cool the CPU only. ( 5820K )

The H80I would fit at the top seen here.

 

 

 

 

 

So what is my solution to Watercool in the Silverstone FT02?

Do i just put a small rad at the top? or just put a h80i?

Possible to put the rads outside the case?

 

Specs;

 

i7-5820K

Asus Rampage v Extreme X99

Geil Pon 16GB

Asus 980TI

SNova G2 750W

Intel 750 400GB

 

 

Thanks in advance.

I'm not really sure about watercooling, it could use the rear but the issue would be the 8pin CPU cable and also you would have a problem with tank end because the PSU could block it upwards and that big PCIe bracket could block it as well and in the front you could have problem with RAM and maybe the motherboard.

 

But one thing is for certain you won't fit a thick push/pull rad like the H80i

What about the same rad as this one in the picture? ( should be h80i )

Oh well if it fits in this picture then should fit fine

So i'm pretty much stuck with this option right?

I'd like to have had a 280 rad instead of the one shown in the picture.

I guess my only option is to change case?

There is also no way to put the 280 rad outisde the case without facing the 8pin CPU Cable issue as you said? Extender doesn't exist?

When I was talking about the 8pin I was just saying it might block it. A 280mm or 240mm definitely would won't fit in this case unless you took off the front panel and did some serious modding to mount the rad on the front and create cutouts for the tubing and CPU block. So you would need a new case.

Alright.

Well that really sucks to drop the FT02.

Any other Case's with 90 Degree motherboard mounting that supports 280 rad? ( h110i GTX )

Otherwise i'm probably stuck with the 750D >.>

 

I can go with the NZXT Switch 810 and mount a 360 rad at the top..

That might solve my issue.. sadly i have to drop the Ft02. ohwell.
