AIO liquid cooling queries.

If you are reading this thanks for taking time to help!

I've been looking at a case in particular, the corsair obsidian 900D, and it seems at the bottom of the case it has room for radiators. Well that's what I'm thinking its for anyway. I was thinking of just doing air cooling cause its easier to clean out.

Anyway I was wondering if something like the H110iGT would need to be cleaned out like a custom loop would?

I was wondering the same thing with the R9 295x2?

Would there anything else I could use the bottom part for other than the liquid cooling radiators.

Sorry if I seem stupid, only got into custom builds last year and looking into liquid cooling alone about 6 months ago. Also first PC build and wanting to go all out £3k set up.

Appreciate the help, thanks!

The tube will most likely be too short to go in the chamber down. But you could use that Raijntek Triton and get longer tubes

CPU: Xeon 1230v3 - GPU: GTX 770  - SSD: 120GB 840 Evo - HDD: WD Blue 1TB - RAM: Ballistix 8GB - Case: CM N400 - PSU: CX 600M - Cooling: Cooler Master 212 Evo

Update Plans: Mini ITX this bitch

i have a 900D, you can mount an AIO on the back and top, but not the bottom, it is too far down.

'

OP, you can stuff cathode tubes down there. or reservoirs and pumps.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

I don't think I would know how to do the whole custom cooling with all the tubes and connectors. Also cleaning it, I WILL do something wrong.

You don't clean AIO coolers like custom loops. Other than blowing dust out of the radiator. They're closed, and opening them is a very bad idea.

Thanks i think ill get a AIO CPU cooler then, probably a AIO GPU as well if i go for the R9 395x2 when it comes out and thats if it's liquid cooled.

That GPU seems a bit excessive. What you doing with it? Just gaming? What resolution?

 

Also, consider getting the Thermaltake Core X9 instead of the 900D. More room for radiators, cheaper, etc.

I havent decided yet but i know its triple monitors. I dont know if i should go triple ultra wide or just 3 widescreens but i cant get a 32 inch monitor for around 100-200 quid

Triple ultrawide has very little if not no support in most games, there is a LTT video when Linus set up 3 ultawides and it looked more annoying than anything, that is if it even worked.

 

As for stuff to put in the bottom, the 900D is so freaking huge it supports 2 power supplies, dosen't it? If you aren't water cooling its going to be very empty in there.
