Corsair 500R Watercooling options?
- Thread starter iTek
- Start date
What sort of temp differences are you seeing over the H100 you had in previously? Hopeful I can start with my build this week
In terms of figures full load is now around 65 degrees, I realised I didn't actually answer your question correctly.
Its fine, I have a rough idea on how the H100 performs as I have a H80, the H100 is roughly 3-6c better. So I knew what you were getting at 
Thats still a really healthy drop in temps, especially for that voltage.
Oh and you might have room for a 120 down the bottom next to the PSU.

I certainly do mate, in fact I have room for 140mm.
I'll probably move to the new Ivy Bridge chips when they come out, my board will take one according to Asus.

The pump giving some vibrations so quick fix is a bathroom sponge
+1000000000000000
Loads of room down there for another 120 with minimal hassle
Couldn't really notice on my 500R as the huge PSU covers half the fan mounting.
I agree with the others, get the card from the MM, sell your card (unless you want it for future xfire projects?) and put a 120 in the loop and enjoy no more painfully noisy gpu

Really considering the GPU now and probably get another Rad just to be on the safe side and because I feel the watercooling bug hitting me
DO ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
while you have chance to do it cheap imo its a no brainer
What model rad would you for at the bottom then since you've seen first hand what I am working with, I suppose thickness won't matter at the bottom?
take the hdd bays out put the bay where the fan is and fasten it up and see what room is left, you will also need to check there for the rad as a 120.2 is bigger than 2x120mm fans smallest i can see is 275mm so you would need 35mm clearence (5mm one side 20mm the other)
Shouldn't be an issues. Most brands/shops are ok with you taking the cooler off, just not officially, if you get what i mean?
but the one in members market hasnt got all the stock parts
Ah, that's a different story then
