60 degrees tops.....dont know if that is any good.....im sure i got that with my corsair h70 cooler.....i think i just have a toasty chip......

ill do a run on battlefield 3 later with open hardware monitor running and ill see what i get.......
 
hi there, fitting the 200mm rad wasnt too bad really....there were 3 things stopping the rad from going straight in.....

1. the lip that sticks out under the 5 1/4 bays which the 3 1/2 bays slots into (you will see it when the drive bays are removed) needed to be bent up slightly, but didnt take much effort.....

2.this depends which fans you got with the 600t.....the earlier model fans were flat where the screws go through to screw into the bracket....

newer fans have a cylinder type shape which goes right upto the grill.....

and because i got some replacements from corsair they were the newer type......i had to cut around 1cm off the mounts so the screws wouldnt hit the grill on the front of the case preventing the bracket clicking in.......you might not actualy get this problem though if you mount the fan brackets to the rad plate and the fan to the other side of the rad...i used 2 corsair fans in push - pull so i got this little problem.........another way you could try but would need the rad plate redrilling to make the holes bigger, is by screwing the screws in from the rad side into the fan.......

fan brackets from front of case

i also put a couple of cable ties through the top clips, just in case they broke or unclipped themselves......

3.the bleed screw in the top of the rad will hit the 5 1/4 bays,not by much and with a little force will/should go under......or just use a small hammer to knock that side up slightly.......

fittings were EK PSC Compression Fitting 7/16

and the tubing was XSPC 7/16" ID [16/11mm] High Flex Hose - Clear

all from overclockers......

I would just like to say ive just found out that corsair actualy modified the 600t front fan and case and is possibly now the same mounts as the 650D

I have detailed pics if the lip and bleed screw in my log, I have the 650 but is it the same?
 
one thing i would advise any one to do is cut out the grill on the front of the case if your going to use a fan there, as this makes a hell of a noise, as most folks already know who own the 600t or the 650D, wish i had of done this easy mod........
 
Very nice build, at some point i plan to install a custom loop into my 600T, probably the same layout as the one you have in yours.

One thing i would like to ask is whether or not your case included the front fan holder, or if the front fan is just install via screwing it onto the case. I seen a few videos on the 600T, all of which mentioned this holder, which allowed the front fan to be easily changed, however, now, they come screwed onto the front chassis, meaning to change it, you need to remove the front panel from the case.
 
hi there, mine came with the clip in fan mount, but i had to remove the front of the case anyway as the screws to remove the plastic holder for the 3.5 inch bays are located underneath the front part of the case......its a easy job to remove the front, it just clips off and clips back on......
 
Any idea why it was removed from the design?? It was a great idea. And thanks, Ill have a look at that tonight, im making some custom wiring for leds and power cabling so i was probably going to have to remove it anyway.

all i can think of is for the same reason i had with mine......the fan on full would sometimes hit the front grill, and on mine it actualy broke a blade and cracked the motor housing.....thats why i had to rma the fan. they sent me 2 of the new type fans which were quite awkward to get into place due to the way its now designed.....they sent me 2 fans which were supposed to be screwed into the front of the case.......didnt know at the time but do now.....

could also be due to folks breaking the clips of the fan mount?? only a guess...but you never know

Im going to add to the nice comments, it just a super looking set up. Im thinking of a striking colour combo that will go with the white 600t so i can get building and watercooling.
Well done mate, fantastic work.
