Water cooling help Hi guys, I think its time i done a fully water cooled system rather than a h70.
I have an Antec 300, Could I fit 2 radiators together at the back and the top fan mount?
I'm not sure if there will be enough room? | My System Specs |

You could fit a 240 or 360mm rad if you use Swiftech's Radbox which would mount on the rear of the case and would attach to the rear fan port, you could then feed the hoses through an available expansion slot or drill appropriately-sized holes in the back to feed the hoses through (don't forget the grommets!).
I don't know how much space you'd have without sawing (there's a template at the front of the case which appears to be for two 120 fans), but you may be able to fit a single 120 rad into the loop by fitting it to the top fan port. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Nebula OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit CPU Core i5-3570K - 4.5GHz Motherboard ASUS Sabertooth Z77 [B. 1803] Memory G.Skill Sniper 12GB DDR3-1600 Graphics Card HD6950 CrossfireX Sound Card Asus Xonar DX [Unified drivers] Monitor(s) Displays Gateway FHD2402 Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 Keyboard Gigabyte Osmium, Noppoo Choc Mid 87, Ducky Shine II (soon!)

Discovered I won't have enough room for this after using measuring up. I think i may go with a Corsair 650D case. Now I need to decide on which blocks etc i need. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Me :D OS Windows 7 CPU AMD X6 1090T 4.02Ghz Motherboard ASUS Crosshair IV Formula Memory 10.00GB Graphics Card Nvidia Geforce 470 Sound Card ASUS Xonar DX Monitor(s) Displays Dell 24" Monitor Keyboard Sidewinder X6 Mouse Sidewinder X8 PSU 700W Crosshair Case Antec Three hundred Cooling Water Cooling Hard Drives 2TB WD

If you want to put a lot of radiators in, consider the NZXT Switch 810. It will hold a 420-480 in the top, a 40 in the rear and a 2X 120 in the front floor or against the front fans. It has a couple extra features also, and comes in 4 colors. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Built- Always under construction OS Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 X64/ linux in VM CPU Intel i7-3770K Motherboard Asus Maximus V Extreme Z77 Memory 8GB G.Skill Ripjaws Z DDR3-2400 (2X4GB) Graphics Card EVGA GTX 670 SC 4GB Sound Card On Board Monitor(s) Displays Asus 24" LCD Screen Resolution 1920X1080 Keyboard Logitech G510 Mouse Logitech G500 PSU CORSAIR AX850 Case Cooler Master HAF X Cooling Custom Water Cooling Hard Drives Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB, Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB, Samsung 830 256GB, Samsung HD103SJ 1TB .

Have a look at the water cooling guide in the same section: Water Cooling guide. As for blocks, I would say XSPC, they have the lowest tested restriction rate of all cpu blocks, and the raistorm fits on several different cpu platforms,so its a great value for money. Secondly I would go for Swiftec, they have excellent warranties and low restrictive blocks, but first choice would still be XSPC. I don't know if you purchased anything yet, but for a 650d chassis I would get the Swiftec 355 pump with pump top, on that I would ad a 140 mm reservoir from EKWB, or if you can fit it a 250mm, connected to the raystorm XSPC cpu block,running 7/16 tubing on 1/2x3/4" fittings will give a better seal, or get same size tubing as your fittings but make sure they are compression fittings. Then for rad I would go for the XSPC if you plan on getting lowed high rpm fans. or get the Swiftec/Koolance v series if you want low rpm fans. Then tubing must be primo chill-primo flex, get the best! Color is your choice. And I would use distilled water wither a silver kill coil, but if you want colored liquid go for primo chill. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom built OS 64bit Windows 7 Ultimate CPU Intel i7 3930k oc-4.3 ghz Motherboard Asus Rampage IV extreme Memory 32g-8x4gig Corsair Vengance DDR3 1600 Graphics Card Sli - EVGA gtx580 hydro copper 2 Sound Card Onboard Monitor(s) Displays Samsung S27" a950D 3D Screen Resolution 1920X1080P Keyboard Razer blackwidow Ultimate Mouse Razer Mamba 2012 4G PSU Corsair AX1200w Case Silverstone TJ11 B-W Cooling Water Cooled Hard Drives 1 x 120GB OCZ Vertex 3 6g/s SSD (os-drive),

Alsisgevat, Maybe I misunderstood the tut, but the XSPC rad on the RX360 is saying 8FPI. I understood that means you can use low RPM fans. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Built- Always under construction OS Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 X64/ linux in VM CPU Intel i7-3770K Motherboard Asus Maximus V Extreme Z77 Memory 8GB G.Skill Ripjaws Z DDR3-2400 (2X4GB) Graphics Card EVGA GTX 670 SC 4GB Sound Card On Board Monitor(s) Displays Asus 24" LCD Screen Resolution 1920X1080 Keyboard Logitech G510 Mouse Logitech G500 PSU CORSAIR AX850 Case Cooler Master HAF X Cooling Custom Water Cooling Hard Drives Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB, Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB, Samsung 830 256GB, Samsung HD103SJ 1TB .
