I can't fit enough cooling inside my H440 in a way that looks nice, so I'm thinking I'll just mount the rads to the outside. I can fit a 480 on the bottom, back side panel, or back of the case and a 360 on the inside.

 

Where should I do this? I'm thinking the back side panel, bottom, or back. What would you do?

 

Thanks.

What could you possibly be running that you wouldn't be able to cover with a 360 and 280 together?

You're and your are not the same. Neither are their, there, and they're. Defiantly and Definitely are definitely not the same. Definately and Rediculous are not words, and you should feel bad for misspelling them. If English is your first language, you don't have a learning disorder, and you get any of these wrong, you are making the entire forum slightly dumber by doing so. Please take the extra three seconds to type properly, and have a nice day.

.........not at all lol. You can fit a 360 in front. Are you implying that you are actually gonna use all the drive caddies?

Have you tried? lol Getting a pump, res, and 360 or 240 is almost impossible. No reason to be a dick.

...dont know how that could be implied as being a dick but okay. If you really cant get fit a loop in it, just get a bigger case.

Just for reference once you actually get the parts and realuze that it really doesnt take that much space. You probably could keep the psu cover with a bit of drilling for the tubes.

I have all the parts. That's how I know it doesn't fit. Also, that picture is not of an H440...

whoops. Here

http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/150021-project-contrast-nzxt-h440-fully-water-cooled/page-1

Scroll through the pages to see. And a quick google search would give you much more. The H440 was built for watercooling in mind.

 

EDIT: been derping alot lately. Sorry bout that, above link didnt actually have a real picture of it with the setup done.

Heres a video, 

 

You could still go with external radiators, but if you can fit it in, it just makes it more of a hassle honestly.

 

I suggest a top mounted radiator, this way you get the radiator and also the pump and still around half of the drive caddies.
