2x rad build in a HAF932

mrh2019 · 28 Apr 2010 at 23:38

Hi all. The build to the HAF932 has started have managed to get the old Thermochill PA120.3 (with some old Vantec Stealth on the front pushing air and Yate Loon’s pulling) in the front no problem at all.
Have a Phobya G-Changer 360 Ver1.2 in the top with Scythe Gentle Typhoon’s pulling
Water block is Swiftech Apogee TX.
Will be using the top rad to cool the CPU and the front rad to cool GPU GTX480 when there out.

Below are a few pic, this is no where near being finished, think I’ll paint the interior black.

Please let me know if there is anything I could and should be doing different.
I will be get a external DVD drive

Inside
------

I will be changing the cable braiding colour to black. Have a an EK100 reservoir going just to the right of the PSU 24pin lead. Will be adding the 3rd fan the top of the rad.

Top case
---------

Top Rad
--------

Thinking of a 90deg barb for the furthest barb to take the tubing along the bottom of the rad top of the motherboard and down to the pump. And yes the two other fans will be added.

Front Rad
---------

Is there a lot to flow restriction in having the barbs on the pump coming out the same side??

Front
-----

Will remove the drive bay break a ways apart from the 2nd from bottom got a couple of screws in there hold the rad fan.

Top and Front Rads
-------------------

Will put a fan on the front rad,, don't know why the front Thermochill rad looks that colour its black in real life, must be reflecting of something.

That's it for now!!! look forward to your comments.

update

OK here's a small update.
Have gone with the black inside.
Scythe Gentle Typhoon’s fans all round, 3rd fan on the front rma back faulty waiting replacement.
Do you think there might be a problem with air coming in to the front rad, there is about 1 inch on the 2nd fan which will have no direct air, could cut the front case??.
Still not sure of the loop yet?? might get another pump and res and do 2 separate loops.
Any advice or suggestions would be great.

Thanks for looking, Martin

Awesome

I have that case myself your doing a great job, look forward to seeing the finished project.

Have done the CPU loop, leak testing at the moment, GPU loop should be done in a week or two.

Thanks for looking...

It's build threads like this that make the wife hide the credit cards.

Looks great.

Looks nice mate. Well done. =)

Nice clean build mate, you've packed in a serious amount of hardware and WC gear and managed to keep it all looking neat, good work!

Anything you think you could have done differently or better?

Not really a problem, doesn't get used as much as it should, only used as a games pc

Looking into my crystal ball I see a different case and matching pumps and reservoirs in your future...

EniGmA1981 · 6 Jan 2011 at 06:57

What do you do for a storage drive mate? That SSD can't hold everything surely?

You never know

I did have a MM UFO case but have space problems where everything is at the moment. Don't tempt me

1Tb ESATA does the job nicely

I'm stumped. It's such a neat build I didn;t even spot the SSD until I re-read your entire thread. I'm still struggling in my game of "spot the 1tb hd". Any clues?

Hold on.... eSATA? Do you only plug in the drive as an when you need it?
