  1. Hi, Thanks for the swift reply. So essentially you are implying that the thicker the radiator the more heat that will be transferred to the air, which makes sense. Is this linear as the temperature of the air increases? I assume you would start having problems with the air pressure dropping between the two ends of the radiator too. So if you were to connect two 120mm radiators back to back would that double the heat that could be dissipated? Or as the air is entering the second radiator already heated would this diminish its cooling ability?
  2. Dear All, I've been thinking about watercooling my PC and there are a variety of options available. I previously had an antec 920 AIO on my pc which had a 50mm single 120mm radiator that has recently given up the ghost. So I wanted to pose this question to you guys that probably have more experience in this than I do. At what thickness does a radiator become unable to transfer anymore heat to the air passing through it as its heat carrying capacity has become saturated? Look forward to your answers! Thanks J
  3. Hi Guys, Sorry about the late reply. I saw linus' video on Youtube and it reminded me about this thread. Definitely should go with a modular PSU if starting from scratch with this case but I was recycling parts. As requested, see photos below.
  4. Hi I've not posted here before but thought that I would get involved. I wanted to build a small itx PC for quite a while now and decided to go for it recently. Decided to go for the Coolermaster elite 110 as it was the best balance of case size whilst still using full sized components such as the PSU which I wanted to recycle from my old build. I was looking everywhere for information about this case so wanted to put it out there for others perhaps looking for information like me! This is a very small case but I managed to fit the following inside: Corsair TX750M PSU GTX 560ti Antec kuhler 920 with push/pull Noctua 120mm fans Asus impact itx motherboard 1X SSD on a side mount 2X 3.5" HDD on the top mounts 2X Kingston HyperX memory It was VERY tight getting the PSU unit in and had to bend the cables carefully to allow it to fit. I had to use a fan guard on the push fan on the AIO cooler so that the cables didn't enter the fan. Not too sure whether I will remove this fan or not, will test in the future depending on temperatures. Next to get the 560ti to fit I was able to cut a section out of the metal at the front of the case to allow it to protrude slightly into the front of the case. The specs say that standard it will take 210mm / 8.3 inch graphics cards but with the slight modification I was able to fit the 10.16 Inch card in. I think this is the absolute max which would allow the front grill to still be used. Anyway any questions feel free to ask! J
