I added a 240 rad in the bottom out of curiosity. The EX120 & EX240 are actually for another machine however I thought I would try a bit of rad over kill to see what/if any the temps would change.
They didn't drop a huge amount but after 30mins of prime running with OCscan tests here are the results
cpu - 4.9ghz 1.39v
CPU - 57c
gpu 1 - 46c
gpu 2 - 47c
room temp was 26c

Thanks - its the Corsair psu Braided cables.
cheers mate, just redone my setup, now for some games
About 3k in total and a hundred quid in paracetamol to help ear bashing from the wife!!
Slightly better shot of the perspex plate. The hot swap removal is fairly straight forward. You have to push and pull sideways as the rubber between the mid plate has 10mm pegs to overcome. If you have the bottom HDD bay out its easy. The mid plate was a case of drilling out the 4 rivets and picking the tabs where the Mobo tray meets the plastic panel. I need to polish the edge of the perspex yet and I want some slots milled in over the 240 rad.

Is the top 5 1/4" bay blocked by the rad?

Question pgreenwo what sort of tool would I need to cut the lower fan grill? Or too remove
The lower shelf as I can't shut the side of my case as the tubing going into the 240 rad and the tubing going from the 240 rad to the res sticks out because it's too thick.
Would I be able to swap out my compression fittings so I could use thinner tubing?
What are you running your fans off ? I went for the lian li fan controller which I'm well pleased with.

Buy a step drill bit 4mm-20mm and you can drill new holes in the mid plate. A dremel too would cut the fan grill out so you could route the tubes through the gap instead.
I have a 4 channel laptron fc6 for the airflow fans. The other fans are sp120 quiet so I run them at 100% through a 6 way fan lead powered from a molex
