760T watercooling options?

[ricchi]

Hello guys, 

 

So im planning a watercooling upgrade for my current build and i would like to maximize the rad space in order to keep the system near silent. The whole thing should include 2 rads, cpu block and vga block. 

The thing is, there is enough room for a 420x55 and a 280x60 in this case, but i would also like to use a dual bay res. This way, the top rad would be very close to the top of the res/pump, but im not sure how close... Did anyone try this before?

 

Thanks

 

Edit:

 

this is the bit im worried about:

 

and if anyone is wondering why i have half a power supply box in my case, here is a tip:

[Shroomster]

Do a external radiator. Bolt to the case or put on a table a Phobya 1080 rad.

Do a external radiator. Bolt to the case or put on a table a Phobya 1080 rad.

Please don't do that

Why? It works great.

I haven't worked with that case before but it looks like the last 120/140mm of the rad would end up in the whole of the 5.25" bays. However, you might still be able to have a bay res in the bottom of the 5.25" bays. Bay reservoirs are a pain in the ass though, maybe just get a tube res?

OK, from what I've seen on the Corsair site, You've got room in the top for a triple 120 rad / dual 140 rad, and in the front a dual 140.

 

Bay Res : XSPC Daul 5.25 inch with a D5 Vario (vario will help with bleeding the air)

 

280 Rad: Alphacool NexXxoS XT45 Full Copper Dual 140mm Radiator for the top (slimer than the next one), EK CoolStream 280 XTC Series Liquid Cooling Radiator for the front.

 

360 Rad for the Top only: Alphacool NexXxoS XT45 Full Copper Triple 120mm Radiator or EK High Performance CoolStream 360 PE Series Liquid Cooling Radiator

 

CPU, GPU tubing and fittings of your choice. Would got much more that 3/8 ID 5/8 OD, no real benefit in going too big.

 

Those rads are know performers, and the D5 pump will last longer than the components will usually. And the prices aren't too bad either.
