Cooling the New Prodigy M!

Neoni · 25 Sep 2013 at 19:06

Hey guys,

well the new Prodigy M Drops in two weeks, and to make most of the MATX Mobo and the future prospect of SLI i want to mount the CPU rad differently.. i'll be using a h100i by the way.

this is how the new M looks.

im thinking mount the rad on the outside, use the stock fans on outside also and have a nice grill on the top (so it'll hide them), now inside i'm thinking a set of SP120s, but how should i have the airflow, as the GPU will be directly below the rad?

Baring in mind you can have another set of fans on the bottom of the case either 2 x 120mms, or a 240mm

Opinions welcome!

Not really.. I can't tell you the last time I actually used my DVD Drive.

Edit: Just read the bottom of the post.

What sort of GPU coolers are you using? Rear exhaust or case exhaust?

Can you put radiator in bottom? That would allow top intake directly onto GPU.

On some pictures it shows a 230mm fan in the bottom of the case (i think its was 230mm and not 180mm) and at first glance i thought i saw holes for 2 x 120mm fans but they seem to be holes for the HDD mounts... Which is a shame..
