The short story is that I'm looking to get some water cooling in my system for my GPU.

 

The long story is I'm too broke to get a really nice full custom liquid system, so I'm thinking about using Corsair's new HG10 A1 cooling bracket and a new, probably Corsair so I know it 100% works with the bracket, pre-filled liquid cooling block. If I can get something like that working then I will only be spending about what a decent water block for just my GPU will cost me. 

 

My main concern and what I want to discuss is does anyone have a Corsair pre-filled CPU cooler, and do you think it would reach from a GPU to the front or top of a standard mid-tower case? I already have a single 120mm rad connected to my CPU and mounted on the rear of my case so I can't really use the rear fan mount for the GPU, and the cooler I have won't work with the GPU bracket because it uses AMD only mounting hardware since it's an AMD branded pre-filled block that comes with their CPU's.

 

OR does anyone maybe have the bracket and know of another good cooler to recommend that would reach all the way to my GPU from the top or front of a mid sized case. 

 

For reference. As far as I know the cooler bracket uses Intel mounting hardware on the cooling block. The GPU will be mounted in the top slot of my motherboard so it is as close to the top of the case as it's going to get.

And this is potentially the cooler I am looking to get.

The Would be Called the RED MOD ( at least i think it is)

 

The official way is to do it with a bracket adapter.

NZXT makes a bracket to do that with the Kraken coolers, it also might work with small corsair coolers.

Corsair makes a bracket for it as well. I'm going with there's over the NZXT one because of the better coverage of the VRM and VRAM. My only concern is if the pre-filled units will reach to the front or top of my case. I feel as though they might be too short. So I was mainly looking for input from people who've tried the set up or something similar so I know what a good pre-filled unit would be to use. I would just use the one I have already but it only fits my [AMD's] CPU and wouldn't fit the GPU bracket [intel mounting holes] and I can't move it in the case because of the size of the rad.

Most Likely not those are Meant to be run the the rear exhaust fan most of the time. swift tech H series coolers are designed to be taken apart maybe you could see it that would work and extend the tubing or somthing
