Watercooling Advice

Hi

Could anyone give some advice on water cooling inside HAF x case.

My motherboard is Fatal1ty Z68 it has fair size heatsink and i am looking to fit a XSPC RX Series 360mm Triple Radiator : RX360 at the top of HAF x and use 3x 12cm Enermax U.R.Vegas USB 5 Volt fan with magnetic antivibration rubber frame and red LED light but i have my doubts that the radiator will fit in HAF x and the heatsink on motherboard would be an issue with that last fan at the back i think but not 100% sure.

Perhaps someone here watercooled HAF x before with a motherboard that has bigger heatsinks or the same size and used a thick 360 radiator at the top.

Any advice is appriciated. Thanks

There's quite a few HAF X builds in the project logs section if you have a look through you might get some ideas for what you can and can't do

It will probably fit, but the fans need to be on the top.

Found another thread on another website with people doing HAF x projects and looks like that RX 360 just about fits with the fans at the bottom. So i might even be able to do push / pull configuration with that radiator but not sure if it's worth it.
