TT Armour and swiftech

msmalls74 · 14 Jan 2007 at 09:03

Just ordered a TT armour, ive got a swiftech apex ultra watercooling kit. I was going to install the rad on the back of the case, but looking at a review they mentioned they put the rad in the drive slots in the front. I think it takes up 6 of the 11 in total (leaves 5 for res, dvd writer and on off switch).
Has any one here done this ? If so was there any problems ?

hi m8 , a dual rad fits no problem in the armor. i have mine there with 4 scythe fans (2push/2pull) and it also cools the rest of the system that way.

heres my front of my armour

(shame iv not got the fans hooked up to a rad yet, there just for air cooling at the moment

Nice one! Guessed it would as the LCS version has it in there but i wasn't to sure if the swiftech Rad was slightly wider. Ive only got a double rad as i want 3 or 4 external bays (one being the res). Which way is your rad mounted? Tubes at bottom or top?

i dont have a rad its not on water (yet)

I use the two blue fans which came with mine have one on the hdd cage and one standing by cable ties it looks like i got a 2fan rad on the from of my case looks pretty sweet. I put a akasa amber as the back fan and replace the other 2 fans with ambers aswell...

Nice setup, whats your PC's internal temp.

Cheers, going to fit my Radiator with the connectors at the top (it has been running "upside down" on my last case) with the reservoir in the very top bay.

Is your case the "new" model with the 25cm fan on the side?

IceShock · 14 Jan 2007 at 23:26

looked at that post the other day looks good, but the case does need somewhere for cable management but ill sort out that when its all nice and happy. Think ill keep the fan grill on as last summer i ended up with a case full of shredded daddy long legs!!

. Still keep finding bits of them when i clean my case out!!

how many fans can be installed into the front of the armour?

IceShock · 15 Jan 2007 at 13:06

4 if you have nothing else in on the front no drives etc.

but 3 and then you have space for 2 drives

Logic Zero · 15 Jan 2007 at 17:55

The water flows out the top of the pump, cpu, gfx, rad, pump again

BTW my armor is w/c'ed, i have the rad in the front, takes up 6 bays

I'm ordering an Armour and a Black Ice GT2 next friday, will I be able to fit the radiator without having to mod anything in the case?

IceShock · 15 Jan 2007 at 20:43
