A New Look for Water Cooling

[Rivettz]

So when I bought my case I wasn't in a position to utilize the water cooling features it offered. Time passed and now I am. The problem is the radiator I want to use a 3x 140mm Fan Radiator is Annoyingly too long for my case. I do not want to invest in 120mm fans to fit a 360mm rad, simply too much work. I know about single sided flow through radiators, what I'm looking for is a double sided flow through radiator in 280mm size. I would like it to be 2" thick. Both sides would be used with a 140mm rad on the rear as the turn around for the loop. This will get me my 3x 140mm rad setup. Now I know the glaring question on the table, why not just add a standard radiator on the rear and add hoses like a normal loop? Well I dont want to have long runs of hoses ruining the existing clean look of the system. Does something like this exist? and if not where, and who can I talk to about getting some kind of prototype made? Thank you all for commenting!

Option A) remove the end tank of a regular radiator and mount terminals to it

Option B) contact a custom radiator shop for cards - beware though, those are often made from Aluminium.

 

That being said, 3x Arctic P12 are like ~30 bucks. If 30 bucks are too much for you then forget about a custom radiator and in general custom loop water cooling. Water cooling is expensive. Also bear in mind that 2x140 is not a lot less than 3x120 (raw area ~9.3% smaller, but there are just 2 hubs on the 280 vs 3 on the 360 so it will be more in the 5-7% difference).
