Can this case watercool?

Your case supports a 240mm radiator at the top and a 120mm radiator at the back. Water cooling is not really worth it - it's mainly about aesthetics. Yes you can get lower temperatures, but the cost to performance ratio is not very good.

I wouldn't recommend watercooling on such cases, simply its not worth it get a much better case, fractal design has some of the greatest cases for watercooling

Early 2020 Build : Intel i7 8700k // MSI Krait Z370 // Corsair LPX 8x2 16GB // Aorus 5700 XT // NZXT H500 

Early 2019 Build : Ryzen 2600X // Asus Tuff X470 // G.Skill Trident Z RGB 8x2 16GB // MSI RTX 2070 // NZXT H500 

Late 2017 Build : Intel i7 8700k // Asus Prime Z370-A // G.Skill Trident Z 8x2 16GB // EVGA GTX 1080 Ti  // NZXT S320 Elite 

Late 2015 Build : Intel i7 6700k // Asus Maximus VI Gene Z170 //  Corsair LPX 8x2 16GB // Gigabyte GTX 970 // Corsair Air 240

I recently got the Corsair Carbide Spec-01. (Yes I know its not the highest quality of cases) And I want to know if it can support any watercooling.

water cooling is about pushing the limits of what is possible. armed with a dremmel steel and a welding torch you can just about do anything but no this case does not nativly support watercooling. you might be able to get an aio in the front if ur clever.

I don't like how you're a mod and push your personal opinions on people with nothing to back it up. If I didn't watercool my CPU would be stuck at 4.7ghz, My original loop was built from second hand parts I turned a profit on when selling them on. With my custom loop my rig doesn't sound like a fucking jet engine either.

You would be better off buying the Define S and getting most of your parts second hand. Try and keep fittings to a minimum if possible also.

I'm assuming you're building it from scratch. I am not stating you can't get a good deal on a loop, but to make it worthwhile, you will be spending more money than it's actually worth.

 

Water cooling in of itself is not a waste of money. It all depends on the person.

So now you're contradicting yourself, is it a waste of money or not? That's the problem with blanket statements, they never cover several options.
