As above does any one know if this combo will fit in a Corsair 350D with the rad at the top of the case?

i'll be trying to do a dual loop system and just need to know if anyone has atleast the D5 pump/Res in the drive bays with no clearance issues or if an alpha cool UT45 fits as well?

Thanks
 


Thats a XSPC EX240 in the front and top (only one set of fans on each though!).

It's bloody tight but doable!

Forget the top 5.25" bay drive though if you're watercooling...

What bay/res are you using if your saying forget about it?

and yes eventually i would like to run a dual loop 2 separate ones 1 for the gpu and 1 for the cpu :D



like an idiot i've just looked at the picture in more depth you have the the pipe going into the radiator!!!! it's not a bay/res yours using! i take it there is no way of moving the radiator towards the left ? would there be room for a drive bay res then? i wouldn't mind having the rad fittings on the left side of the case if that helps ?

Thats why im asking a lot of posts / creating threads lately as everyone experience really helps me out instead of using guesswork hahaha!

thanks for the picture though it's really helped me see it is possible!

Hey man

Basically you might be able to do a bay res on the second bay but forget about the first as you will need 90 degree angled fittings from the radiator which render the first bay unusable.

Don't think fittings on the left side work at all - when I tried it there just simply wasnt room for motherboard.

Hope this helps brah!
 
Thanks for all your help!
i have 3 x dual bay reservoirs!!!! ( 1 xspc dual loop, 1xspc 750 v4 and 1 xspc d5) :(
looks like i'll need to buy more watercooling gear i might as well set up a shop hahaha
i was hoping it would work well i have a 350D case on it's way for the gf's pc build and was hoping it might work for my set up as ideally i'd like a smaller case (current is a cm690ii)
which im doing a z97 build while she gets my old 2500k and she gets a z77 and gtx 660
and the hope was to give her my ex240 rad and one of the bay/pumps (not the d5 that's my baby as its super quiet hahaha)

might spoil my plans as i was looking to go for the z97 gryphon Armour and if what your saying is true about it on the left i imagine the gryphon Armour edition would be even tighter due to the thermal shield on the io ports!

Thanks for your help though i really appreciate it :D
 
Why bother with a dual loop for a Cpu and a single card?
It's much more sensible to just put it in a single loop.
Also if you want to use quick pump/Bay res combo, EK do a single res ddc pump combo.
 
Because im planning on a hard pipe acrylic build with 2 different colours of coolant.

Also i will be going SLI in the future with my build so i do think it would be worth it yes a single loop would be a lot easier but plenty of things are easier but we choose to do it a different way because it's more creative :D

out of curiosity how do you find your H440 case? ( i love the case but alas as you can gather they don't really help the Bay res problems!!!)
