Prodigy water cooled

Tom.p · 26 Jan 2013 at 23:27

I'm considering water cooling my prodigy case I'm running i5 3570k, gigabyte 7950, as rock z77 and Samsung greens. I'm looking to overclock all components so will need a good cooling system. Will I need two rads or will one be sufficient. Do I buy a kit or seperatly? What do you suggest?

Thanks tom

Thinking of a 240 mm rad at the top then at a later date add a 200mm at the front.
What pumps are quiet? Are the ek kits any good?

a 200 at the front wont work, The rad needs a fan and that fan will block the usb and power switch board on the side pannel.

Thats why i have done a 240 in the roof and a 120 in the rear.

Im cooling an i7 2600k and a 7970

So what mods do people do to get the 200 mm rad at the front?

I'm going to go with 180mm rad at front with 240 at the top

Why not a 140 in the back and a 240 up top?

That way you can still stick ya HDD's in

AND have room for a MASSIVE 230mm fan in the front for maxi airflow

a 200mm can be squeezed in. its an extreme example though

This is what I run, and it works a treat. Both rads are mounted outside, which makes fitting the tubing inside the case a lot easier!
