Yeah. I know the top can hold 2x 120mm though? I was thinking 1x 120 under the top part on pull since the ATX 8 Pin power gets in the way :/ with a 120mm pushing through the rad?

jeff6475 · 8 Jul 2012 at 19:12

nice idea that, i was just gonna get a 12mm fan to fit under the handle but now ill have to look into your idea

Ollie1132 · 8 Jul 2012 at 19:15

Well if you have the 120mm Pulling air through above where the ATX 8 Pin power is and a Push where the handle starts effectively in logic you would have 2 fans pusing air through a rad? Or at least the way I think it would work. Not sure about how the airflow would effect each other but through a 60mm rad shouldn't be that big a problem surely?

yea should work fine aslong as nothing stops the fan been installed on the mobo but cant see that tbh

Ollie1132 · 8 Jul 2012 at 19:22

Going to have the fans hooked up to the bitfenix fan controller. Trying to figure out how I can get positive pressure atm.

jeff6475 · 8 Jul 2012 at 19:28

well im having the Alphacool NexXxoS UT60 360mm down the front push/pull (intake) and Alphacool NexXxoS XT45 240mm on top prolly with your fan idea as exhaust and 140 mm on back exhaust.
fans are 6 x Phobya G-Silent 12 1500rpm Red LED
Phobya G-Silent 14 1100rpm Red LED
ill just be using the fan controller with the case

Ollie1132 · 8 Jul 2012 at 19:29

I see. Well I'll have the 3 GT's (one to replace the Coolermaster 140mm exhaust later to have a 120mm rad there) and the two on the top rad as exhaust with the coolermaster default front fans on the HDD's.

jeff6475 · 8 Jul 2012 at 19:33

why dont you go 2x dual 1 top and 1 in the bottom (means losing the stash tray)

Ollie1132 · 8 Jul 2012 at 19:35

Cause I like the stash tray

And atm my SSD is mounted in the SSD tack in the bottom :/

jeff6475 · 8 Jul 2012 at 19:39

just looking at the amount of fittings you have in basket uptop you will need 8 and another 2 for the single rad

Ollie1132 · 8 Jul 2012 at 19:45

(whats in the first post but modified to include everything I want)

Not sure on the fan controller but not much else I could go for really

any suggestions? I was going to get a 2nd 240mm Rad but I wouldn't be able to afford the extra scythes with the budget I'm on

pgi947 · 12 Jul 2012 at 21:42

Double check that waterblock fits on the 670 WF before you buy it bud, the power connectors on the WF are side by side rather than stacked on the 680, it should fit, just make sure to do a dry fit first

Edit: also a few things out of stock on your pick too

Ollie1132 · 12 Jul 2012 at 21:45

Yup I will make sure it fits. And I know... two of the most important things are out of stock >.< the side panel I ordered from Casekings isn't in stock either :/

pgi947 · 12 Jul 2012 at 21:50

For the compressions you can use these I would think, they are stated for 1/2" ID but 7/16" will squeeze over the barb and its 5/8" OD which is what the 7/16" tubing is.

For tubing just order this stuff

Ollie1132 · 12 Jul 2012 at 21:54

Whats the difference for the XSPC tubing lol? I really want EK compressions to me they just look nicer ^.^ reckon I should grab some LED's to make my case a little more lively? xD

pgi947 · 12 Jul 2012 at 22:10

The £5.99 is a boxed lot of 2m, the other stuff is rolled from a drum and cut to the length you want, other than that, nothing, its all I use

And yeah, LED's are always a nice touch

Ollie1132 · 12 Jul 2012 at 22:14

Bitfenix LED's? I really need to figure out what to do with my GT's... really want them to be red :/

Have you considered changing the way your loop flows btw? so the fluid goes Pump - Res - 240 - CPU - 670 - 120 Pump. I am far from an expert at water-cooling, but it just seemed like the fluid is going to have a bit a climb to get from the 120 to the CPU compared to the other way around where it would all down hill. Just my humble opinion.

Either way I'm subbed, looks like an interesting build and i want to see how that Koolance block turns out

would look better i think going like above res-pump-240-cpu-gpu-120-res
