Project: TITAN 4 !!!!

Just fitted the third 480mm Rad

Looking goood.
However, I notice that you've got both of them at the bottom exhausting. That seems very inefficient, where is the air coming from? There's only one intake down there.
I would be inclined to create a "wind tunnel" sort of effect whereby one intakes and the other exhausts but keep the current intake there as well which should help out the temperatures of the rad on exhaust.

I am quite concerned about how the rads are going to work and agree with you that the way they are now is not great but will test it and see how it goes.

I have thought about putting the fans around the other side on the front one but that would mean blowing hot air on the second rad.

There is room for a 92mm fan at the other end but have decided not to fit it as it may be more of a restriction than no fan at all.

The case has a lot of space above the rads and there a quite a few holes through which air can get, I am hoping this will be enough to let the rads work.
 
My way would mean that one rad is hotter than the other as it'll get the warm air exhausted from the first.
However, you will get some air at least and slightly cooler because of the single intake you have down there.

The other option i would advise, which it probably better:
Both rads are intake and the single fan is exhaust, but a fast one.
It also looks like you can mount a fan in the top of the rad compartment, maybe put one there exhausting into the main compartment?
 
Kaap: I think it will probably be fine, I have a similar setup in my TJ07

Only way to know for sure is to try it, and change it if its no good, but its a royal PITA I know, all I can advise is don't "finish" the rig completely with everything tidied away and perfect until you are happy with the position of the rad/fan setup. That way its less annoyance if you have to turn them around.

I know with my quad gpu rig, I tried quite a few different ways and in the end almost went against logic but it worked.

Lots of people think that you should draw cool air into the case through the radiators but for me that didn't work for all the radiators, sometimes even warm air blowing out through a radiator is better than warming up the inside of the case. A lot depends on the ambient conditions where the thing is going to live and other factors, so if you can I would run it like you have it and if then the temps don't look good try it with one pulling in and one pushing out.

Thanks :)

I will be giving it a go in the next few days

My next job is to get waterblocks on the cards today.

I will give it a try as is but if it fails then I will try the above.:)
 
Well, that's a kick in the nuts ay? lol
Is that just the one or all of them?

Just one of them

So far I have fitted waterblocks and backplates to two of the cards and will do the third after I have had a break.

I have ordered another backplate but if it does not get here quick I will take the bad one to work and drill a hole tomorrow night.
