Radiator placement

Korsun · 22 Apr 2012 at 11:15

Hi all,

Looking at putting a water cooling loop into my Coolermaster stacker830 case and am struggling to find a place to put the rad. If I go with either a 240mm or a 360mm radiator, I think it will have to go on the floor of the case as with the psu at the top of the case space would be tight. What concerns me with placing the rad at the bottom of the case is the heat from the rad rising up through the case and heating everything up. Should I be concerned with this?

That will be fine, I personally prefer that config because I find it easy to bleed the system. Others may disagree however.

As long as you have an exhaust fan at the top of the case to draw the air out it'll be perfectly fine. As malfunkshun says, it'll also making loop bleeding a doddle.

if all fails and you dont like it @ the bottom you can always think of putting it outside the case i have my Rad fixed to the wall looks good aswell
