any one ?

Ploppy2k3 · 8 Jan 2015 at 22:00

it will work but why not go 480 in the roof, 480 in the bottom?

the space is there so why not use it?

dreigns · 9 Jan 2015 at 06:37

On my 900d I have 480 at the top this one the only problem is its a bit tricky to get in but it does fit.
The only other problem I see is the other rad will be in the way of the hardrive bays which wont fit there with a rad as far as I can remember as I was going to do the same.
Two bay can go above but that will limit you to 6 drives
any ssds you can stick to the back of the motherboard area

thomasjarvis52 · 9 Jan 2015 at 22:56

i wasn't planning on using the drive bays at all as using m.2 and ssd like you said was gunna use Velcro and mount behind motherboard

shouldn't be a problem then but I just seen something else the psu will be next to your pump if your ok with that shouldn't be a problem as you have space down there

Also not sure of this but the psu might get in the way of the 360 rad below I'll look and measure my case today for you

dreigns · 10 Jan 2015 at 08:47

ok so I had a measure up don't think your have much luck with a 360 rad down the bottom as I have my psu on the right looking from the front and the max space with it there is 380mm and the rad is 400mm odd even with the psu on the left you then have to get the tubing round it and the wires.

I suppose you could turn the rad round and have the tubing go to the other end and the psu on the left giving room for the rad and a fan

maybe if I swapped out the rads for something abit thinner maybe ?

I run x2 XSPC 480 v3's with push /pull on both rads with no problems.
( 8 fans per rad )

These are 56mm thick compared to the above of 38mm.

That's with a 1500i, R4BE etc etc.

JustCallMeVlad · 10 Jan 2015 at 15:39

IMO the RVE is a waste of money unless you plan on using LN2. Grab a cheaper board.

spook050 · 11 Jan 2015 at 19:26

I Just finished a 900D build that pretty much matches your loop plan.

I went for a thin 480mm rad bottom and a thicker 360mm rad top. Both Alphacool.

would you be able ot post few more photos please mate ?

spook050 · 14 Jan 2015 at 20:11

Sorry for the delay, didn't have time to upload images until now.

This is the link to what I have uploaded so far, missing a few but I won't get time for a while to dig them out.

It was my first build so I'm quite happy with it, but I have a few things to fix next time I drain it. Oh and some of the cables have been changed like them red ones since these pics!

BattFink · 14 Jan 2015 at 20:59

Have to say, generally I'm not a fan of white cases but that looks pretty sweet

Nice job

Zarniwoop · 19 Jan 2015 at 01:59

In my 900D I have a 60mm 480 Alphacool rad at the top and 60mm 480 and 240 rads in the bottom. They all fit fine. I have the ports on the left of all three rads with a clockwise loop in the following order res-pump-pump-480 rad-CPU-GPU-GPU-GPU-480 rad-240 rad-res.

I have the fans set to pull on all three rads, the bottom two as intake and the top as exhaust. Three intake fans at the front and a 140mm fan as exhaust at the back.

It all seems to work well and the temps are nice and low.

One thing I did learn is you must flush Alphacool rads with Blitz part 1 if you want to use red coolant. If you don't, the flux residue in the rads will change the colour of the coolant. It affects all red mayhems coolant, normal and pastel. My red pastel coolant first went brown and has now ended up a dark purple.

That's stunning mate.
