Modding a Closed Loop

[RML Futuristics]

Hi All,

 

its my turn to ask for a little help

 

My Little beast is running a little hotter than she should, so i was thinking about trying watercooling, but i have never done anything like that before. I currently as my signature shows, have a i7 4770k and a Asus DCii 780 along with a Max. VI Form. so its built for watercooling. The issue is i have a corsair 600t case (which i refuse to change due to huge sentimental value to me).

 

The case itself can be watercooled but im looking for a clean look and remembered linus's modding of a closed loop and it got me thinking, but always in the back of my mind is i dont want to kill the pump of a closed loop, anyone know how much they can realistically take?

 

Looking at something like a corsair H100 or NZXT AIO cooler and expanding it. 

 

Thoughts people

 

Yours

Could you please elaborate on what exactly you want mod, how you want to do it and why?

Swiftech has the H220 which you can expand no problem as it was designed in that way or alternatively you can get the NZXT Kraken G10 and any Asetek AIO combo

Yer no problem, im looking to take a closed loop cooler, take it apart and actually put new tubing and wire in for example another rad and my GPU , if i can even my motherboard and that way because of the way the AIO works i wouldnt need a res or a pump elsewhere in my system, this then saves on space and also makes my already small 600t still manageable. 

 

I know i could just get a closed loop, but i want something a little more custom.

Get a Swiftech H220 and mod that. It's designed so it can be expanded.

You can fit a 240 rad in the top and another 240 in the front, so I don't see why you wouldn't just go for a custom loop. It would look much better and would be much more customizeable.

@Cacao - i agree, however im limited somewhat by space, a 600t isnt the biggest when you have to have at least 1 drive cage because you have 2 x2tb hdds and an ssd. i was trying to assess a few options

 

@Mo5 yer i think im going to do a little research into it

That didn't stop me I took out all the drive cages from my case and I still fit 2 SSDs and an HDD in. Get creative with it, stick the SSD somewhere in the back panel and you can throw your HDDs in your 5.25" bays.

Modding a closed expandable system is no easier than in stalling a full custom loop. If you were adding a second rad I would assume you would add a reservoir as well.

That just leaves the CPU block with an integrated pump being the only difference

Is the pump on the Swiftech strong enough for expansion?
