Right guys I'm un decided if I should get a triple 120 or a triple 140 rad, by the looks as slim as possible for the top.

Now the hard drive cage is coming out so up front I should have enough room for a decent thickness double 120 or double 140 rad.

Now guys what rads would you recommend ?

If all else fails i should be able to get a triple rad on the back of the case (but that's a last resort)

well, based on what the case's specs I'd say you'd only be able to get a dual 120 in there, as can be seen here:

unless I have the wrong case ^^

Jony27 · 22 Jul 2011 at 19:49

nahh, you have the right case there but i think the OP will mod the drive cage/remove them, and fit another dual rad at the front

xtremedetailz · 23 Jul 2011 at 14:35

Yes and I am also going to be using a bigger Rad up top.

I'm not using a DVD drive so the Rad can go all the way to the front.

That's why I asked about 120.3 rads.

Nice Build so far OP, looking really Clean

Looking forward to the watercooling.

Oh no, i was hoping this wasn't gonna happen. Now im gonna be looking at water cooling. DAMN YOU!

What you guys think of a Phobya Xtreme NOVA 1080 Radiator mounted on the side ??

jorzeh · 24 Jul 2011 at 17:35

Hmm Suppose if you get a enclosure for the Rad and can make it look nice, Then sure!, What are you cooling though ? Seems alittle overkill if it's for CPU + Gpu..

!?

I personally prefer rads to be inside the case, I think external rads look ugly. Just my opinion.

agreed. I spent an extra £130 on my case just so I could have all my rads inside. I was initially going to go for an Antec 900. So glad I chose the TJ07

That's what I'm thinking.

Plus I could use my fractal r3 and sell the arc MIDI on.

Hmm decisions decisions ...

i thought you planned on using the arc midi in the first place

Only reason i planned on the Arc Midi was i wanted a top rad and one in the front.

I wouldnt be happy unless i got a 60mm deep rad in the top and the same at the front.

Then there is cost, i will get less cooling capacity for more money.

Where as if i got side mounted rad it would be like 3 x 120.3 50mm rads.
