Dual 240mm Rad Install Ideas

[is22Just]

Hi, I'm planning on doing a build with watercooling, a GTX 770, and plan to overclock the i5-3570k to around 4.5Ghz ish... but I don't know which case would be better so I drew out on the 3 cases with what the best scenario for my loop would be. All my Rads will be regular sized, no think ones at all because I don't really find them useful in the loops I made

 

 

I plan if possible to put a 240mm Rad in the front instead of the usual 230mm Rad in the front, and the other 240mm Rad would go where Corsair planned for you to put a h100

 

 

I plan if possible putting a 240mm Rad in the front, I say if possible because I don't know if there's enough space to put the Rad behind the grill with the fans on the inside to reduce noise a little. If there there just isn't enough space the fit the fittings through then I would just cut out the whole needed because I have all the tools needed. For the second Rad I plan on doing like Linus did with the h100i in the 1500$ build and put it outside with the fans on the inside to reduce the noise a little 

 

 

I plan if possible to put a 240mm Rad in the front and on top of the motherboard if there is enough clearance to put the Rad closest to the case. For the Rad in the front I think it's going to end up being the same thing as the Storm Scout 2 and I'll just have to cut out the hole for the fittings if there's actually enough space in the front behind the grill

 

Thank you in advance for your feedback and if you've actually done this with your system please upload a picture of it because I am also very intrigued on how it looks.

i would go from gpu->cpu->top rad->pump->front rad

 

but either way i dont think any of those cases is really good for watercooling since you have to remove the hdd case in order to install a front rad.

Go with @FloRolf said. Whichever way gives you the shortest runs. As long as your res is behind your pump (in this case it's combined) it doesn't matter what order your loop is in.

 

The C70 and 600T should be alright for WC, just pick whichever you like the most/find most appealing.

This, but flip the top rad so the ports are towards the front of the case

Won't the liquid already be hot from the GPU when it hits the CPU? if I do like @FloRolf said to do? And if none of those cases arent optimized for water-cooling, which one would?

Nah, the water moves too quickly for that to happen.

yeah, exactly.

Thank you, but I had a feeling that was the case
