450d water cooling

[TheMikeyG]

I want to build a custom loop in my 450d I want it to cool my CPU and GPU but I also want to keep the bottom drive cage for storage reasons, any ideas on rad/ res and pump placement? Is this even possible in this case?

Put the storage drives on the 5.25" drives (get an adapter if you want to), the put a 240 on the top and front, it's the most basic way to have a great loop, but there is a ton of options still.

yea sure, i would put a 280 rad in the top and a 120 in the back, if you cant put a rad in the back leavef just the 280 in the top but make sure it is a thick rad

 

you can actually put a triple 360 rad in the top, do that rather

 

here is the full list from corsair's website:

 

• Radiator and fan compatibility compatibility:
  • Top: 3 x 120mm or 2 x 140mm (360mm radiator)
  • Front: 2 x 140mm or 2 x 120mm (2 x 140mm included) (280mm radiator)
  • Bottom: 2 x 120mm (240mm radiator)
  • Rear: 1 x 120mm (120mm included) (120mm radiator)

From this i will get a 360 rad top and a bottom 240 rad so there is still a hard drive cage for 3 hdd's i guess

you can always buy the HDD cage to install the HDD in the ODD bays.
