Hi guys, i have tried asking a similar question in the cases forum, but i have changed tack slightly:

i am looking to get the Fractal Design Define XL case

i was wondering if you guys had any good suggestions cooling-wise, possibly watercooling. obviously getting this case im looking at quiet and cool but i still wana have a high performance rig inside.

currently i have the rig in my signature, amd 940 + 4gb ddr2 + 8800gt but i could soon be upgrading to an ati 5850 with intel 750 and 4gb ddr3.

any advice/recommendations/ suggestions/what ever would be greatly appreciated.

thanks, theron.
 
The top fan is 200 or 180mm ? If so you could get a 200 mm rad by phobya and maybe a 120mm rad aswell if it fits.

Or if space is an issue you could air cool the cpu with a noctua dh-14 or something similar and only watercool the GPU with a single 120mm rad ?

Seems like the 5850 will be loud under loud hence why i suggest watercooling it.
 
the top fan is a 180mm fan and the rear fan is 140mm, so its a bit tricky for sure :(

Hopefully some reviews / more revealing pics will be released tomorrow as ocuk start dispatching
