apparently their is a way to connect it without anything extra. I'm double checking on another forum that does system mods.

I'll try out the radiator that I have found as I have overnighted it so it should be here Saturday. If that doesn't work then I will order those koolance fittings. This has been nothing but a problem since I started this project but can't wait for it to be done.

Haha u found it right as I did. This is fine! It's going to be a 120 and I just point them in opposite directions. It will fit perfectly haha!

WOOOOOWWWWW AJHDKCBDKWMAKIXOGKRBE!!!! FOUND IT!!! http://www.performance-pcs.com/magicool-120-g2-x-flow-slim-radiator-black.html

I could probably still use a 30 mm but it would be a challenge. I'll have to figure something out. I have no idea what to do as I just got it to fit barely in the system.

That's the issue I'm running into. I currently have 90 degree fittings but they extend so far that it's not fitting where I need.

Yes you both are right but I need a slim one with end ports because I'm putting it into a custom Xbox.

So I have ran into this issue and I have not found a solution yet. I need to find a very slim radiator that has side ported holes not where it is usually where they fins are but on the sides. Does anyone know of one that is like this that is Slim

fun fact, the reason why gaming is normal is because you are not using 100% cpu usage while gaming. Stress tests on the other hand do 100% for a consistent period of time but you should test at 100% for 24 hours minimum to make sure that you do not have the issue you are currently running into. How is the configuration of your loop? is the reservoir higher then the pump? Is the liquid flowing fast enough? You don't need it maxed but having a middle ground speed is best in my opinion to make sure that liquid isn't sitting for too long.

Largest I have currently seen is a 360: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835106241 If you really want to do this you also have another option which I don't know if you know of. EKWB has made kits for watercooling to take the difficulties out of finding each part so this might work for you if you want to do a 480. https://www.ekwb.com/shop/kits Just noticed that EKWB's kits are maxed at 360 so you would have to get a 480 also... whyyyyyy

Just a little side note, I have had air cooling, AIO, and currently running a custom loop. I really haven't seen much of a significant difference in the AIO's compared to air cooling and I believe I remember seeing a video talking about this as its more of a visual appeal when it comes to the AIO's. Just a little side note about it and you might want to do a temp check when you do so because it might not be worth the extra money if you are not doing it specifically for the visuals and ability to say your computer is water cooled.

It's dependent, having a thicker radiator doesn't make as much of a difference as a longer radiator. The more fans you can put on the radiator (or radiators) the more cooling their will be. Thickness has less effect but you can still do that if you would like Here are two examples: 360 https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA9F93EC8692 480 http://www.performance-pcs.com/scratch-dent-alphacool-nexxxos-monsta-480-radiator.html These are Alphacools NexXxos Monsta radiators, which is what you wanted with thickness but more importantly length. Then just do some quality high static fans and you can turn the RPM's up as high as you can for them and you will have the coolest you can get. Just remember, its more important to have length then girth *wink wink* as you can add more fans. so having a monsta 120 rad compared to a 240 ultra slim, the ultra slim will probably cool better. Also make sure that you are adding in the correct hardware that will support the amount of liquid that will be in your system. Stacking all this space into a loop will mean that the pump or pumps will need to be able to handle it or you can kill the pump, then your hardware. Tried to simplify as best as possible and keep short...

The fan I ordered just came in and now the case is able to close but it is flexing, I'm just going to need to find a radiator that is smaller than the current one that I have and I will be ready to go!

I just looked at them but unfortunately the one issue with most water-blocks is that the fittings cannot be on the top. Placing them on the top will cause them to be wayyyyy to high for my use. The side ported water-blocks are what I need. I was looking at EK 1U annihilator water-block but I don't know if having such a small water flow is a good idea. I'm only using the regular water-cooling items and I want to make sure that this won't be bottle-necking the flow of the liquid. Also, I don't know the height of the annihilator block again having to be under 17 mm without the screws of course.

no restraints on money or fitting size I was going with i believe 10 mm tubing but that is fine to change. again mounting I'll figure out, Its just size that has been a major issue. 55 mm is max space. Here are the rest of the pictures I currently have. and the green is the chosen color which I have paint that I might use to make it look like it is leaking.
