Apem · 16 May 2014 at 22:35

So we did not figure out a glass mod we liked and ended up having a super busy week. However you do have something from us arriving at your door.... I guess Monday now. Surprises.....!

They weren't bad mate, though tbh I like them more for their looks than performance. Im swapping them out though for some corsair SP120's since putting in high FPI 240 rad at the front as well now.

Ordered the following this week:

1x Bitspower Adapter 90 degree 2x G1 / 4 inches - Matte Black
1x G1/4" Male to Female Rotary Fitting (Black Chrome)
2x XSPC G1/4" to 3/8" ID, 5/8" OD Compression Fitting (Black Chrome)
1x Hardware Labs Black ICE Radiator GT Stealth 240
2 x Corsair SP120 High performance fans

After this im hoping I can source a waterblock for my second gpu to tie into the loop.

Apem · 17 May 2014 at 10:42

so you are going to have x2 240 rads?

Jay85 · 17 May 2014 at 11:17

I am mate, im taking this route cos i'll be putting my secondary gtx 680 underwater soon so need the extra cooling capacity and airflow through the case.

I would add another radiator ontop of what i already have if i had the space for it lol.

Apem · 17 May 2014 at 12:28

I have seen a build with one of the 200mm rads

Jay85 · 17 May 2014 at 12:34

Link me mate, i wanna see

Cheers buddy!

Apem · 17 May 2014 at 19:09

Really not sure if to get the enermax fans or go for corsair tbh changeing the top 200mm for bitfenix pro.

Jay85 · 17 May 2014 at 23:40

Do you want form over performance or vice versa? Corsair for performance and enermax for form.

Trig · 17 May 2014 at 23:50

Only just found this thread, I've got the Mini180 and was thinking of binning off my minig rig and having both 270x's watercooled in it, decided against it given the space, now, this thread, baastid...

Jay85 · 18 May 2014 at 00:08

Haha, seriously cant go wrong with a mini p180. Its a great case once you've stripped it out for watercooling. So much room and cooling potential.

Apem · 18 May 2014 at 13:14

I want performance and form though lol

Thinking of this controller Akasa 5.25" FC Six Channel Brushed Aluminium Fan Controller

Trig · 18 May 2014 at 16:27

I'm only running 2 SSD's in mine so could cut out bits to aid rad fitment and the likes, then stick both 270x's in it and put them on the same cooling circuit?

All Akasa products are particularly good, especially their fans so I doubt their controllers will be bad. Have you seen any reviews on them yet?

You can do that quite easily, the whole lot would fit in quite snuggly. Just make sure if you do choose to run dual cards, make sure your front fans are intakes and not exhaust as you want to be blowing cool air and over the cards. The case can easily fit 2 x 240 rads, 1 at the front and 1 at the top AND if you take care with measurements you could also fit a thin 120mm rad at the rear.
