Case compatibility with V8 kit

robertssssss · 10 Jun 2013 at 14:44

Hello, I'm looking to buy a water cooling kit for my new build. After browsing your website I have found the v8 kit which is perfect for my budget and needs. The one problem I have is if i would I be able to mount the radiator and fans at the top of the case (Obsidian 650D)without any modding? Also looking at the advantages over the H100i - would I get better cooling proformance with the kit?

Thanks in advance for the reply

Dual 120mm radiators will fit in the top of the 650D (That includes the H100i and the V8 Kit).

As far as performance the V8 Kit will be a bit cooler than the H100i, but you have to be prepared to maintain the water cooling loop. (Changing the coolant and tubing around once a year, etc).

I think I heard in various places that you can only realistically fit a 30mm radiator in the top (plus fans), so none of those massive (XTX, RX, Monsta etc.) rads would fit well. although parts for my first loop arrived this morning, so I'm far from experienced
