H220/H320 vs x60

[Dsgreek]

Title explains it. Phantom 410 case ( ATX mid tower one )

[tristan1035]

The H320 will be the best, X60 coming a distant second but the H220 will be neck and neck with X60.

Quick question

Do you think I'll be able to fit the h320 in the case and

2. How would one expand the h320 ?

Adding water blocks etc?

[tristan1035]

1. I don't know

2. The block is also a pump so you would probably be able to add one gpu block, not sure after that.

That h220/h320 packs quite a punch. There are videos describing how to expand it and it is easy. I am planning to do the same to mine, expand my h220.

How do the stock fans perform on the h220/h320?

Was thinking of swapping them out for some led fans ..

I think they work fine. If you do plan to put new fans on, you need high static fans.

So something like SP120's ?

You said you were gonna expand your H220, how much do you think it'll costs you with rads and gpu blocks and fittings ?

Sp120s should do great.

About the expansion, i have not ran my list across the forum and I'm no water cooling guru. I am just going to add a dive bay res and maybe a small rad. The initial math I did was around 100$.

Unfortunately none of those will fit without some modding. In the roof the mounts for 140mm fans are not spaced correctly for the X60 and so would need new ones drilling, and the end tank of the H220 means it will not fit without cutting away some metal.

 

You can, if your really want to remove the ODD and HDD mounts by drilling out the rivets. That would let you mount any of those including H320 in the front, you could then expend it as you wish including adding as slim 240 in the roof however at his point you are almost better of with a full custom loop. so you can fit a thick 360 with a tube res int he front.

Changed the case to a 750D

If you add a gpu you will probably also need to add a radiator.

 

I would personally go full custom instead of expanding the H320, you will get better performance and a much better experience with watercooling.

If you liked the phantom look the 630 should be around the same price and can handle a fair bit of water without any modding needed.
