Fellow 540 owner here, how well do the 360 & 240 mm radiators fit in there with fans?

with the r9 295x2 the fans had to be mounted on the outside of the case directly under the mesh. Which at first disabled the use of a fan filter, but I made one out of pantie hose lmao.

 

Other then that they fit perfect.

I was afraid that would be the answer, oh well, it still works and looks good. Can't wait to try to outdo the beauty you've made here.

Update posted:

 

Switched to air cooling because of pump failures and other qc issues.

 

Switched from AMD (R9 295x2) to NVIDIA (2x GTX 980 TIs) because AMDs software is just too far behind, and I have grown impatient. I want AMD to succeed but I also want to have great reliable game experiences.
