Tube Res

Where would i put a tube res (photon) with keeping my 360mm and 240mm rads where they are in this?

Thanks.

Can you measure the gap from the gpu too the hdd bays

robmac65 · 8 Sep 2014 at 11:04

There is just 3cm, at the back there is 7.5cm between the case side and the gpu.

I would mount the 240 in the front

Not keen on that as i would have to start hacking away at the case to get it there.

Was thinking about mounting it horizontal above the bottom rad or above the mainboard power connector, or taking the rear fan out and mounting vertically there above the gpu :confused:

.

Does anyone else have a nzxt switch 810 with the photon in it with some pictures of it.

Only thing I can think of is mounting it horizontally across the top rad. You'd have to leave plenty of tubing though for it to be removable. Other than that I would suggest to try and get a smaller res and get some small brackets made to make it attatch to the holes going vertically next to the drive bays.

@ robmac65

I have same case and have been considering watercooling as well for my rig.

Can i ask if you using the following radiators

YOUR BASKET
1 x XSPC EX420 Triple Fan Radiator £69.98
1 x XSPC EX280 Dual Fan Radiator £44.99
Total : £124.57 (includes shipping : £8.00).

I currently have the NZXT Kraken x60 installed at the front
138.4*27*312.5mm This is a very tight fit.

The XSPC EX280 is 143*36*230 so you would need find about an extra 1cm to fit it. Shouldnt take a huge amout of mod, basically just cutting out a small amount will work. T

Pigeonguyuk, i have the xspc ex240 in the bottom http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-084-XS&groupid=962&catid=1523&subcat=1525 and the xspc ex360 in the top http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-085-XS , its plenty enough cooling, I run BOINC doing milkyway and that hammers the GPU like 98% on each core but it never goes above 61c

, also do some cpu ones too and they batter the cpu but i have never seen above 50c like ever.

@ kipz, cheers will have a measure up and see what my best option is.

Pictures anyone?

Cheers for the info

If i eventually go for WC loop i might swap the position of the 280/140mm radiators to avoid modifing the case.
But might even changed the case . hes my WC loop idea
