Hello Guys,

I would be awesomely grateful if someone with some free time could point me in the correct direction (model names) of cases which would support watercooling with a dual 120mm radiator and able to fit a GPU of the 560, 570 ,580, 590 persuasion.

I had a little look last night but didn't really get anywhere and went to bed.

I've currently got a 3D Aurora and it is pretty big, lets a lot of dust in and awkward when messing around with the water cooling.

Not 100% decided on a budget... just after some suggestions really.


Cheers.
 
I myself have Xigmatek with a 420 + 240 rad inside it.
Very happy with how it looks and how much space there is inside it.

But maybe you dont want such a big case.

Looks pretty swish. Cheers for the suggestion.

Good, it's got WC grommets for external mounting but I'm just trying to figure out how id mount my 120.2 rad on the back. Plus also where the pump would go. I'll see if I can find some examples of this online somewhere.
 
My 650D arrives tomorrow. So Ill be able to help more then. a lot of the guys have the 650D already. I wont be having a W/C kit just yet but it has enough slots for single or duel radiators.
 
I've seen a dual radiator being mounted at the top which I guess would be fine. I could have my reservoir in a drive bay and then the pump at the bottom.

I've seen a couple of pics of this case in the "post your case" thread. I'll be able to have a better look when I get home from work later.

I had a listen to a review on my dinner and it seems like a pretty decent case.



Edit: Let me know your opinions on your case tomorrow!
 
+ one for a 650D brilliant case it is got an ek water kit in mine top dog!!
or bit cheaper would be the CM690II water cooled one of those too.
 
Hi conoflex.

I was going to email you as I had seen pics of your case in another thread and I had a question. I was going to ask how much clearance there is at the top of the case to fit my radiator + 120mm fans. In total, radiator and fans come to 8.5cm in depth. Do I have a chance?

You might just get them in be a bit tight tho, I've mounted the fans outside on mine and getting a shroud to go on them or I might change the rad to a slimline one. If you haven't got your rad yet get one of the slimmer ones and you'll have plenty of room then :)
anything else you need to know just ask.
 
Cheers for that!

I've read on another forum that the space I've got to play with is around 7.5cm so it doesn't sound promising.

I'll do some research on a new rad then :)
 
Without getting my out from under the desk and measuring the space :) I would agree with about 7.5cm from what I remember, but it can be done cos i've seen one on another forum somwhere can't remember where tho sorry.
