Air 240 Case & Water Cooling (Needhelp on radiators & GPU)

[Revan654]

1. Anyone know the thickest radiator I can fit in the Corsair Air 240 with a MSI 1080 X Gaming? Would Hardware Labs SR2 GTX 240 fit?
2. Is EK the only who has waterblock for MSI GTX 1080 X Gaming? I was hoping for a block that would cover the entire GPU.

Was going too refer you to ocn's 240 club.... Haha

Ill measure the difference between the msi and my reference card  in a few minutes and get back to you. 

 

I tonight their block was " full cover"? Or do you mean actually covered in metal cooling surface and not plexiglass?

was thinking of a different ek 1080 block.

 

edit:  I measured 93mm from the tip of my reference 980 to the metal where a rad/fans would mount.  MSI say's your 1080 gaming x is 10mm longer than mine leaving 83mm for fans and the rad in the front-with NO clearance

Thanks, I know MSI Card is 11 inches which leaves about 3.1 inches.

 

I think I'll grab Alphacool XT45 + 25mm fans which will only acquire 71mm(2.7 Inches). Plus some breathing room just incase.

thats a good safe bet.  Or you could try and cram a hwlabs gtx in at 54mm (79mm with fans) but they're really close in performance

I grabbed Hardware Labs GTS 240. Since their designed for 800 RPM.

That's a great rad, though a little restrictive, water wise. I've got a 360 and it's pretty sweet
