Kraken In Meshify C

Hey, i'm planning a build and the only part im missing now is the case.

 

I've been eyeing the Meshify C Dark TG. I have already got an NZXT Kraken x62 and an Asus ROG strix gtx1070. I am now wondering if i'll be able to squeeze the radiator with two fans in the front along with the Strix 1070 inside the meshify.

 

The GPU is supposedly 298mm in length, the radiator 30mm thick and the fans 25mm.

The meshify C allows for 315mm gpu's max with a fan installed, im guessing it is a 25mm thick fan, and 335mm gpu's without fans.

 

In this video the fans are put outside the frame and the radiator inside the frame allowing for the use of two fans and the radiator in the front.

 

 

Does anyone know if this is possible with the meshify C or only with the define C's front panel ?

I have a Meshify C and unfortuantely I believe there is significantly less space between the mesh and the fan mount making mounting the fans outside the frame not possible like in the Define C.

Doesn't look as good in my opinion and has a good chance of not fitting due to memory or other motherboard parts. And the meshify only accepts 240mm rads on top

 

I seem to have found a solution, Kyle strikes again !! 

 

The fans are mounted as he did with the define C and then the front plastic structure is cut to allow clearance for the fans.

Wrong, because your mobo doesnt protrude upwards. I cant beat this

This post helped me find the way

;) you're welcome

 

The method used for the 240mm deepcool should also work for the 280mm Kraken, but for the Meshify C ONLY. The Define C does not have any of the webbing you have to cut, however your fans would have no room to breathe since they'd be directly up against the Define C's solid front panel, so you'd need to modify that (which honestly isnt worth it when the Meshify C exists)

Thanks for the input. Yeah im assuming it would work for the 280mm rad. We shall see..

No you wont be able to fit 280mm rad in front together with the rog strix card as they are quite long. But you will be able to mount it on the top of the case. I have the case. Really awesome compact case. I think that you will love it. But need some lightning inside as tg is quite dark.

Somehow I managed not to see that one. Well nice to know that something like that is possible.

Haha no problem, figured you missed it. Yeah it should allow for some more length for more options like my Strix card.
