Just testing the water...

£42 for fittings?!?!

That is quite a lot, could that not be subbed for cheaper ones?

and also would the single rad be a bit too thick for my case?

Apologies, yes.
Meant to add a thick 240 and a thinner 120

You could simply mount a rad externally?

£42 for fittings isn't that bad. The reason I specced compressions is because they are very very very secure. You can sub them for 1/2 barbs like the ones in your basket

metbandit1 · 12 Dec 2011 at 08:52

Ah ok thanks Cleeecooo. Also the reason I put both EK rads into the basket was because I have a very limited amount of room in the top (if its both rads and fans up there)

I don't really want to mount anything outside for my first time water cooling either.
Will that gtx580 block work with my gtx480?

koooowweeee · 12 Dec 2011 at 10:35

no different block mate

metbandit1 · 12 Dec 2011 at 12:05

Looking for gtx480 blocks they seem to be as rare as rocking horse **** to come by!

metbandit1 · 12 Dec 2011 at 12:10

Just got the ruler out....

72mm is needed for rad in the top of the case.
The overlap of the ran is about 2cm so i guess its a no go =/

cjgardens · 12 Dec 2011 at 12:25

i may have a block shortly if someone buys my card only

72 mm is enough

47mm rad + 25mm fan

or there is this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-084-XS&groupid=962&catid=1523&subcat= 35.5mm

just get that rad and a 120 on the back

metbandit1 · 12 Dec 2011 at 12:30

72mm is too much i mean,

just measured it and at 72mm and it overlaps the RAM.
So ill be looking to mount the rad ourside the case.

cjgardens · 12 Dec 2011 at 12:33

look at the rad abouve

35.5mm + 25mm fan gets the calculator out lol = 60.5 your good to go with that one.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-021-XS&groupid=962&catid=1523&subcat=1525

or that above thats 35mm but as the first one is newer its probably better i would google it tho

metbandit1 · 12 Dec 2011 at 12:36

still overlaps slightly

cjgardens · 12 Dec 2011 at 12:44

how much space do you need. the black ice stealth are slimer i think?

there 29mm so thats 54mm with the fan

metbandit1 · 12 Dec 2011 at 12:54

I only have like 4.5cm or so.

cjgardens · 12 Dec 2011 at 14:22

is the ram low profile?

metbandit1 · 12 Dec 2011 at 16:28

theres only about a couple of mm too little between where the edge of the rad would be and the ram sadly

Cleeecooo · 12 Dec 2011 at 16:34

The black ice stealth rads are pathetic TBH.
EK EX and magiccols are the kings of the slim rads i think.

Personally, i'd run a SR-1 rad passively

rjk · 12 Dec 2011 at 17:05

my bad, wrong case. i was thinking of the smaller haf.

metbandit1 · 12 Dec 2011 at 17:10

Its the smallest HAF case i think?

It does 922 - 932- X i think? might be wrong though?

I think I might just cool the GPU with a double or triple Rad.
Single mounted on the outside and double mounted on the outside at the top. Might work

Or it'll just be cheaper to buy this:

cjgardens · 12 Dec 2011 at 18:35

a rad must fit in if loads of other people are doing it

metbandit1 · 12 Dec 2011 at 19:13

how is £633 cheaper than 309?!
