HAF 932 Water cooling help

[Harbz]

Hey guys :D, i was just wondering as i will be taking out the Hard Drive Cage and not re installing it into the case, will i be able to add a Water cooling rad to the front 230mm fan? i will be adding a 360 rad in the roof, but as im cooling a CPU, 2Gpu's and planning on getting a 3rd GPU which i will add to the loop i will be needing the little bit extra heat dissipating power :D:D:D

So can i ? or will it be a complete FAIL!! ??

PS this is for a friend of mine, im still going after my NZXT build :D

Why not put a 2x120 at the bottom instead ?

[Harbz]

It doesnt have a 2x120 mounting space at the bottom? Does it ? there might be space under the PSU, but i kinda wanna make sure my PSU stays in the case ;D

You may have to ghetto mount the rad. I have never seen a square 230mm rad.

You can either go with a 140 which will be too small. You could simply drill 2 hole ~140mm (a bit less) apart on the bottom and attach the rad to the bottom. and just mount it with 2 holes.

OR

Get a square 240*240 rad and it would be slightly too big. (Presuming it would fit)

Hmmm, i was planning on Ghetto Mounting to the front of the case, but i read that 200mm, and 230mm fans share the the same mounting holes, so i guessed using a RAD there wouldn't be too hard :D

Never heard of a 200mm rad either.

Although I haven't particularly looked for them either.

Dont take my word that there arnt any 200/230mm square rads is what im saying

I found this, but im not sure about the quality of it, as i only really trust XSPC LOOL :D

I can give you the go ahead on phobya. They make excellent products.

​Try looking on ebay to see if you can get them cheaper too.

I will take apart the front of case and see how i can do this, dont want it moving around LOL

Haha quite ironically I found this:

Now you won't have to.

That 200mm Phobya rad is very good, seen it in front of a Corsair 600T, it's good stuff. I would recommend a thick 360 rad at the top and a 200mm rad in the front (not 100% sure it will fit in the 932- most probably will but don't take my word for it) as well as (if possible) a 120 or 140 rad in the back. Should be plenty for a cpu + 2x gpu.

You need to research the distance between the threads on the phobya 200mm rad before buying it and compare to the case.

Pro tip: above 140mm there are no industry standards for fan sizes. So that '230mm' fan could be 200mm, and the mounting holes are all over the place for the different brands of 200mm fans.

He will most likely have to drill a few holes for the screws as shown in the thread I linked earlier.

You can easily drill holes at the bottom and put the rad there, in between your PSU and your front 230mm fan, obviously you need to remove the HD cage. You'd get more cooling potential that way. But if you don't want to MOD at all then I guess that's not an option.

[Harbz]

Sweet thanks a lot everyone for your input.

Ti133700N that is an option also :D
