so 2 weeks after deciding on the kit for my first watercooled set up it has evolved into this and I am very happy at least until the credit card bill arrives
my dual 360 rads in my 800d are finished
- Thread starter timciren
- Start date
Now comes the testing fun...

Nice lovely looking build.

Did you mod the case to fit in the bottom 360 or is it just sitting there after removing the lower drive cage?
yep, had to remove the hdd cage, drill out the bottom of the case, fit the rad then put the sides of the cage back
Looks Great, Really nice job and colour scheme.
Gotta say though a motherboard as nice as that needs to be accompanied by a Chipset block. xD
"Damn the expense!"
Really nice build though would love to see some Temps. =]
yep, mobo block is the next thing, ioh hit 68 when testing 4.2, gotta love the ROG connect
and yeah "damn the expense"

Spot on that mate!!! I hope mine will look somewhere near! Ive gone for the 2 rs triples and new as well. Figured it best as its gonna be for the long haul this case. What is the gpu your running?
did u measure your PSU ? mine is 150mm long so has 30mm clearance to rad
GPU is a 5970, with the airfan on it looks like a beast and weighed 1000g, but the air fan weighed 830g, without it it doesnt look much for the money
looking forward to turning it up

Now that i DOOOOOO like! i like that a lot. Very simple but clean and pretty.
Nice job with cable management.
Do you have two loops or dual rads single loop?

Agreed, do want to see this.

Same here, I think my PSU is slightly physically larger,
wish I'd been able to fit it and the PA120.3

Looking good! Chipset block required though, and at least one more GPU.
What's the spec of it?
changed my sig to include spec
I think these have just come down in price for me
yep, hard to decide, I hoped the spiral would stiffen the tube cos it is quite a long straight run to the top pump and it sags a bit.
But there is a lot of black in there already and I have to leave something to fiddle with later
Lots of people seem to remove both sides of the lower hdd to fit a rad in the bottom of the case, then the shelf above the PSU droops.
I wanted to fit a 120.3 in the bottom cos
1. hadnt seen anyone else do it
2. I bought a RS360 for the top but wanted to change it to a deeper rad and hated to waste it
3. seemed like it would balance the triple fan outtake at the top
4. the space was wasted
first plan was to cut a hole and mount a grill over it. So off with the feet
drill off 3 rivets on the front
and grind off 1 rivet on the top of the HDD cage ( which was a bit tricky and I scuffed my paint )
put the grill on to mark out holes
I was planning to mount the rad in the middle of the bottom of the case at this point and marked the mounting holes before drilling...
I put the fan in to just have a look and realised if I mounted it just off centre it would fit perfectly against the HDD cage and the mount screws for the rad lined up with holes in the bottom grill
I was a bit nervous about making the first cut, so I screwed up the rad to look at how to mount the grill ;
Instead of cutting a hole, I thought why not use the grill as a template for drilling 200 holes ?
a couple of battery charges later my drill was blunt....
then to support the shelf, I snipped and bent the cage
I put a couple of screws where the rivets had been and it worked.
The rad fans can now blow thru the HDD bay, but as I only have 2 SSds I am not worried about the heat.
I mounted the second pump where it would let me add another GPU if I need to, but I want to test it out under water first
