Custom W/C loop in Air 240?

vantastic · 15 Sep 2015 at 13:55

Is is possible to fit a custom loop in the Corsair Air 240. Cpu and Gpu waterblocks with a 240 and possible 120 rad. Looking at making a more compact build.

not sure you'll fit a 240 rad and a 120 at the same time.
the rest should be easy.

Its asking a lot i think. Just a 240 is not ideal.

If you're going to go ITX mobo then you could easy do a 240 at the front and a 120 on the bottom.

You can fit both a 120 and a 240 into an air 240, it's not easy though, especially if you go custom loop. I've seen people putting the 120 in the 'drive and psu' section of the case where you can add another fan.

If you went mitx you can actually fit 2x 240's in to the case although I'm not sure where you'd fit the res although I have seen some attach it on the rear 80mm fan area.

Compact builds are not easy, may have to ditch the res/pump combo. EKpreditor looks interesting.

99% certain that doesn't fit, it's too wide for the front, I looked into it when I first saw it because I'm interested in the air 240 too

You considered a parvum S2? its similar in shape although different in style to a 240.Plus its well designed for mATX watercooling builds.

Are you saying the EKpreditor wont fit? Thought its the same size as any AIO cooler?

Having searched the web, dont think this is worth the hassle. Bigger case it is then.

ek predator is about 20mm wider than say a corsair h100i gtx due to the pump being on the side of the rad instead of over the cpu.

And to be honest the difference in cooling between those two isn't very much according to ek's own stats.

Thanks for the info, pretty much not the case for me then.
