Will my case be able to water cool?

[TH Gamer]

Hi guys, i have bought a MASTERBOX LITE 5 and it says it does support AIO water cooling but i wanted to know if if a can put a custom water cooling loop in the case because i want to do it in a few years or months?

if theirs enough space in my case i will invest in getting it water cooled. Is there any parts out there for really cheap but good.

Radiator support:  Front: 240mm / 280mm / 360mm radiator (limited) up to 50mm thickness without fan,  Back: 120mm

 

Honestly it'd not the best for custom watercooling. Youre limited to, at max, a slim 360 at the front and a slim 120 at the back, which you could accomplish with just about any AIO on the market.

would this one work? "Masterliquid Lite 240 AIO Cpu Cooler"

According to Cooler Master it will fit a 240, 280 or 360mm radiator in the front.  Also a 120mm radiator in the back, but that's so small that it's basically useless.  If you want to go custom loops, you may have to be creative when it comes to the pump and reservoir position and drill some holes or make some brackets to mount those. 

 

That being said, I wouldn't expect great temperatures with a closed-off front panel like that. 

I looked up a couple of reviews, and this guy basically sent his case back because it just couldn't keep the parts at a reasonable temperature.  Using the rear fan as intake worked better than using all 3 front fans, that's how restricted the airflow is.  Read his own reply at the top of the comments.

 

Personally I'd suggest returning it if possible and buying something that is at least functional.

Choked front panel, limited radiator options. I would pay 30 more and get a meshify C (of course unrelated to the fact that I have a Meshify C custom loop build!)

Get a hardwarelabs front radiator (GTS 360 or 280, buy it on performancepcs) and everything else use barrow (formulamod.com)

Thanks for your help but i might just get a AIO cooler because they are cheaper (i think) and more easier to set up as i'm not sure on how to make a custom loop.

Just get a better cpu and a good air-cooler rather than spend 250-350 on a custom loop.
