Watercooling 600t - Adding GPU Later Idea

[Mecael]

I want to watercool my system but not the GPU as I'm planning on upgrading to a 780 or beyond. 

 

(The reason for this is I want to watercool ASAP)

 

I was thinking of buying these and adding one to the tube that would be the tube that goes to and from the GPU block, as well as the threaded ones for the GPU block when I get it. 

 

So from this:

seems good, good luck finding decent 200 mm fans that have decent static pressure

Quick disconnects are a bad idea. They are quite restrictive and expensive. You would be better off adding a drain port to your loop. This would let you drain and refill your loop quickly and easily when adding the gpu.

if you are adding a gpu later, why not build towards that with a ex360 in the roof.

a lil modding, cutting and plop there it is. add gpu and 240 later now you have no

hold-back in thermal control.

 

here is a link to modding your case: ->
