Watercooling in a Meshify C TG

[shea99]

So im planning my build for the summer and i'm looking at the loop. I'm going to be using the EK A240G So both cpu and gpu will be cooled. Now i know that the Meshify C can hold a 360 rad in the front and im looking at using the extension kit that ek offer. I do believe though that using the 360 rad comes at the expense of the hard drive cage am i right ?

So with that dilemma i need to make a decision as to whether i buy the extra 240 rad and keep my hard drive from my current rig, as well as my ssd and buy another hard drive for my current rig( passing it on) or i gp for the 360 rad and buy another SSD for my self (i can get 500gb EDIT: 850 evo for £100, which i already have one of ) and pass on my current hard drive. The price difference is only about £50 seeing as the 360 rad isnt much more expensive than the 240.

Any help with this is appreciated. Also Im thinking of the actual position of the loop and im thinking, pump/res combo to sit under graphics card/ontop of basement > gpu > top rad > cpu > front rad cycle and want to double check to see if this seems good.

Many thanks

The Meshify C can hold 3x 2.5" drives behind the motherboard tray. So worst case scenario use that, otherwise M.2 are your options. But yes, if you use a 360, wave goodbye to the 3.5" drive cage.

 

You can take a look at my Meshify C and Define C build for ideas. IF you're only putting in 1 graphics card then on top of the basement is a good place for the pump/res.

You can always put the hdd on top of the psu, as long as you are using a single gpu in the top mobo slot, a bit of creativity and you can make a feature out of it)

Think this could be an option aswell to be fair
