LIAN LI TU 150 with a Noctua NH-D15 CHROMAX + KRAKEN X42 (Kraken G12)

[LJA]

Hi people, I want to know if it's viable ( know it woudl be really tight if it is) to fit the Noctua D15 with the CPU and put the Kraken X42 with a Kraken G12 for the GPU at the front. I've been using a Kraken G12 with great results in the past with my huge Evolve X ATX case and if I can combine these two in the smaller Lian Li TU 150 would be great. 

Another alternative might be taking out somefans from the D15 and try to put the Kraken X42 at the rear, dunno.

The thing is that I think that the RAD of the X42 at the front and the D15 will fit (I don't use a 2.5 SSD, nor I will) but I'm not confident of the tubbing involve to reach the GPU and also don't know how I should positioned the fans from the X42 as intakes or outakes in such position. thanks in advance!

The rad would likely not fit in the rear spot with the D15 installed. Cards have successfully used hybrid designs in the TU150 before, so I see no reason why the X42 with it's more flexible block mounting couldn't fit

 yes but what I've seen so far is the rad in the rear for the GPU and the rad in the front  for the CPU and in my case it has to be like you've said the RAD YES OR YES in the front and there I dunno how the space that leaves me the D15 plus the large size of my strix 1080 ti would play with the tubbing

I finally decided to just use the D15 and the original cooler from my VGA, time will tell
