230mm rad?

limited case use, limited fan options, and wouldn't be a fast seller to promote.

unless it is 120 or 140mm radiator, there is not much "love" to produce anything

bigger as the fan support is horrible for optimization of radiators larger than 140mm. 

i see phobya makes a 200x 2 radiator and most cases that supports that size has

limiting factors like a low roof line for MOSFET/RAM collisions.

Why do you need one? I your looking at a Bitfenix Prodigy, a 200 mm rad will work just fine. Heres another thread about that topic:

http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18394450

The only reason I am wondering is that when I first started my planning for my build I thought I wasn't getting a titan not water cooling so I got a 230mm fan for the front of my prodigy. Now that I know I could most likely pull it off money wise if I work hard I am water cooling and using a titan hopefully. But I can't water cool with only one 240 I have found out so I was wondering if I could put on on my 230. Is there any mods you know of that'll put a 140 240 or any of the normal ones on to a 230 fan?

Not that I know of. If you are really wanting to get into watercooling, you should probably get a 200 mm rad in the front and a 240mm rad on top. If you can pull it off money wise, why not just get a 200mm fan instead? It will only be another $15-20 and it will allow you to have more rad space.

Ok so if I were to do a 240 on the top a 200 in the front I could mount 2 ssd on the psu housing where you I put pump resivoir and stuff and I would have to buy a new fan. Is its re efficient to use 4 100mm or one 200mm fans for a 200mm rad? There is the io board though

Theres also an ssd mount on the side of the case. Probably put the pump and res behind the 200 mm rad. It is way more efficient to do one 200 mm fan, and im pretty sure the mounting isnt available for 4 100 mm fans. Check this out, it might help you with your decisions:

Yea I found another forum where a guy took out the rivet for the front plate flipped it and then he put in a 140 and the optical bay. With the ssd mounts on the side I think I can fit 4 ssd which my planned board can't even support with a optical drive and I can mount my pump on top of my optical drive bay. I thought it was a great idea
