What 240 rads will fit in the Arc Mini?

Jay85 · 7 Sep 2012 at 22:54

I'm looking at getting a fractal Arc Mini case for my current build as i see more potential to fit more radiators in it.

I need to know though what 240 rads will fit in this case? I see in google images that it will accommodate 2 x 240 radiators... 1 at the top and 1 at the front.

Which ones will fit though in push OR pull configuration only?

i have that case and this is what the user manual says

the component support in the case when using a radiator in the top is depending on the thickness of the radiator. see info below. when having a 2x120mm radiator mounted in top, you cannot use the rear 120mm fan slot at the same time. (you could mount the fan outside the case though)

-up to 40mm radiator thickness: support for most water cpu coolers and larger memory modules

-up to 50mm radiator thickness: support for most water cpu coolers and standard memory modules with a max height of 40mm

-up up to 70mm radiator thickness: support for only certain water cpu coolers, depending on the water inlet and outlet. supports only standard memory modules with a max height of 40mm

it doesnt mention a front radiator however you could fit one if you cut away the bottom front hdd enclosure which is riveted to the case. you could fit a thicker radiator there as there wont be such a tight space.

Thanks for that, it's very interesting! I thought both hard drive caddies were removable in this case?

bottom one is riveted on so all thats needed is to drill it.

you could stick a thick 120mm fan above the bottom cage though.

also there is a bottom intake so you may be able to put another 120mm rad there. which would mean 240 + 120+ 120

im not experience with w/c but that should be enough to cool most setups

So far i have seen 240 + 240 + 120 setups but it looks tight.

I'm also looking at this case.

You should be able to fit 60mm rads in the top and front.

Decided to stick with my case and mod it to fit a 240mm rad up top. Check progress thread in my sig if interested.
