my rig is in my sig
ok my setup is getting hot so im going to watercool
i cant get stable 3.8ghz in orthos due to it getting to 70 straight away and me stopping it.. im hoping to watercool it obviously im going to have to get a new case so should i get a thermaltake one already watercooled or go a diffrent way about it?

i am going to watercool my cpu and my n/b only at the min any sugestions would realy help.. i do like the armor watercooling case
 
a swiftech kit is good idea....and cooling the NB isn't necessary IMO...if you want it cooler then upgrade the HSF.
 
the thing is if im going to have to change my case then i dont want to be out the money for a case + the money for a kit as ive spent 1300 in the last month as it is.. and i think my wife may kill me if i spend more than 200 tbh
 
You don't need to change out your case.

And if you are on a 200 quid budget then you can cool just the CPU for less than that
 
antec 900's are tiny and due to the fan on the top i cant get a rad there either... and i want it inside the case not outside so a case change will prob be needed even if i do tidy all my cables

Does look a bit cramped!
But with the CPU cooler gone could you not fit a 120.1 rad to the top case fan inside the case?
I managed to mod my NXZT Lexus case to fit a 120.2 rad in the top, with fans, and a 120.1 rad in the rear fan inc fan!
Lost x2 5 1/4" external drive bays and its tight to the PSU, but it fits!!
Pics in the case gallery. :D
 
if it was any other case i wouldnt mind but due to the big fan on the top i cant mount anything on the roof thats whats annoying me..
i do have a casetek case thats bigger and could probably use that just seems a shame to have a whole new rig in a old box
 
Why do you want the rad. inside the case? The Swiftech kit radbox design works very well with the radiator attached to the Rear 120mm exhaust fan.

Also having the radiator inside the case will significantly increase case temperatures, obviously...so your GPU and NB (if you decide not to wc it) will go up.
