800d 2 radiators

ewarwoowar · 22 Jul 2011 at 12:12

Didn't know whether to put this in cases or watercooling :cool:

But i'm going to be introducing 2 WCed 580s into the case and I want to keep all the radiators inside the case. Mounting on on the back is a last resort.

I just wondered if anyone has 2 radiators in their case and could supply pictures.

I have a 360 up top at the moment and have seen people with a 240 down the bottom. Just wanted to see if anyone else has a sweet place for one.

I don't mind modding but nothing extreme that'll need a jigsaw cutters and what not.

I'm afraid you are going to have to get the jigsaw/dremel out if you want to put a 240 rad in the bottom of an 800D, unless you want half the rad starved of air. And if you're not into extreme case hacking then you probably don't want to see my case then

the 240 rad is just for the cpu loop them the 360 will be for the GPUs.

I think i'll be confident enough to hack that bottom bay out and get a 240mm rad stand. With the bottom bay out and the 240mm in there would that be sufficent air for the loop?

Also, SHOW ME YOUR CASE!

I was looking at 480mm top grill mods on the 800d. Might actually crack the jigsaw out aha

When I say you'll be needing to chop up the case I'm meaning the actual case bottom to make a hole for an additional 120mm fan, the rad will then lay flat supported by the fans. Another option is to have the rad on its side like I think you are suggesting, this is also valid but whether you can do it or not depends on the size of your rad as say a Thermochill is too wide to stand on its side in an 800D. If you get the right rad though I think it is a neater way of doing it, although you will need to put a rad grill in at least one side of the case.

My way is even more extreme as shown below. This is a 700D, I'm not sure you could do this in an 800D as I don't think the hard drive bay is as easy to remove in the 800D.

, if only 800Ds weren't so damn expensive

It'd be tough having that 250mm rad in a single loop as it might not get enough air to cool the loop. I think having it on a horizontal stand may be better for a dual loop system

Thanks for the pictures though guys
