Just testing the water...

Excuse the pun

Thinking of watercooling my PC, CPU and possibly GFX as well.

But im not too sure how well a watercooling kit will fit in my case.

HAF922. All other hardware in my Sig.

I know ill need at least a double rad for my SB chip @4.4. But will adding a single rad as well accommodate the 480?

Thanks! Sorry if this thread hasn't made too much sense, written it quite sporadically.

koooowweeee · 11 Dec 2011 at 16:10

you can put a 240 on top and 120 rad on the back. that will do the job.

just make sure you plan were the tubes are going.

i would google watercooling 922 haf pictures.

just found this pic to give you a idea

Will a 240 and both fans fit on the inside of the case? and also will the 120 and accompanying fan fit on the inside of the case?

Also thanks for the quick reply!!

Great! My main worry was the top rad and fans being too low and hit the ram.

Would that kit be the best bet? Then I could just add on another rad etc to the order.

koooowweeee · 11 Dec 2011 at 16:21

ye its a good kit and will do the job fine. but if you get another 120 rad and fan you will be able to have the fans on really low or not at all and still have good temps and silent computer.

it will cost you about 30-40 for a rad and then 3-15 for a fan and 2 barbs thats all you need. ask them how long the tubing is they might through you a tiny bit more in

Epic

This is on the list for after Christmas then, once I know how much spare cash ill have.

Might give a couple of calls to OCUK HQ as well closer to the time just to clarify sizes of rads etcetc.

Don't want to **** this up

koooowweeee · 11 Dec 2011 at 16:29

47mm plus the 25mm from the fan

haf 922 is a no go. you cannot fit radiators in the top.

Hey mate,

You can fit them at the top. Have done so myself and a few others on the web -

so many conflicting opinions?!?!

Also

Hows this for a shopping basket?

edit: photo was a bit small

tommytinkle · 11 Dec 2011 at 20:16

Hey mate,

Looks alright to me but I'm no WC expert. Don't waste £1.30 on that bridging connector when you can do it yourself with a piece of wire though.

Edit : No watercooling pump?!

Hey mate,

Probably because he's never tried. Regardless of the statement that it can't be done it obviously can, look around the net.
