and i was wondering how would i need to go about adding a 1 240 radiator to the front? the top fan would come up to the bottom 5.25 inch bay and i don't know which materials i should get and everything but i do have a color scheme of Gold and black for sure. thank you guys for all of the help. i have another question but that's for another day.

 

Again thank you guys in advance

*Cough get a different case Cough*

 

I had that one then I upgraded to the C70 by Corsair, So much improvement, it is well worth the money to get a better case. My CPU temp went down 5-10c and my GUP stays the same temp but boosts so much more.

Yep I have a guardian 921 (1st version) and its a terrible case lol it looks pretty kewl though.

You could just have the rad secured to the case with the bottom fan and have the top part only bolted to a fan.

You may need to use some washers or some spacers to extrude it out from the front panel a bit.

Hack and slash approach is the only way if another case isn't an option though you will have to do away with the front cover as well it will just suffocate the rad and a rad with no airflow is as good as no rad at all.

 

Realistically if you can afford a rad (AIO or custom loop) you can afford a better case.

 

What thickness rad and what do your internals currently look like. Need to work out if you are external or internal mounting, also what rad in particular?
