Need ideas for watercooling in a silverstone rvz01

Hey everyone. just wants to hear if you guys might have some ideas to watercool the rvz01. 

 

i use it as a mediacenter. but want to watercool it. i got everything else watercooled so that one is no exception.

 

 

the components is

rvz01 http://www.silverstonetek.com/raven/products/index.php?model=RVZ01

asus r9 280 dc2

ASRock FM2A75M-ITX

Silverstone Strider SFX 600W 80+ Gold

AMD A8 5600K 3,6 Ghz FM2

 

do you have any ideas of what cooling stuff i might fit in it?

 

i have an alphacool d5 lying around. but it might be too big. cant find a res/pump combo small enough.

 

 

thx in advanced for any kind of help! =)

That is a pretty tiny case, really you will find it hard to fit water cooling inside, its not designed for it

I dont think its actually possible in that case, just with the water block+cpu socket+ fittings and tubing will be wider than the case itself

@Hawkeye_666 it really is a stupid idea IMO.

 

you can only fit a 240mm rad in there and unlike and AIO a custom loop will give you big problems like the reservoir, fittings, tubing and a 240mm would barely be enough for a cpu and gpu.

 

not to mention when you get a leak it would probably destroy all of your components

yeah i really cant see a way of water cooling such a small space, but if you really wanna try to do it, the only thing i could think of is getting like a Corsair H60 CPU block (because the pump is in the block itself) get rid of the rad attached to it, get a barb to step the tubing down from the 3/8 tube to something like 6mm wide to make it fit / easier to run in the case, then run that to a triple 40mm rad like this,

but then you have the problem as to where to put the rad even tho it is tiny?

 

Let me know what you work out cause i would be interested if you can actually do it :)

yeah i know it sounds impossible. but im not afraid to mod the case. and i know i can fit a 30mm  240 rad where the gpu is. the biggest issue would be the pump/res.

@Once  to use the corsair pump might be a good idea. gonna look that one up.

 

the thing is that i dont care how hard it would be to fit the things or to leaktest it. i just want to see if i could get some more ideas from other people =)

well the pump for the corsair all in ones is contained in the block, might be better off with a higher end model tho, like a 110i for more head pressure, bause they are a 120 rad, and if you pull them apart they are a 3/8 barb fitting on the pump and the rad, so you could add a res if you want / extra components in the loop
