Watercooling A Phantom...

[Shayper]

Hi Guys, anyone tried internal radiators in an NZXT Phantom case?

Just picked up an EK supreme for 25 quid, and was thinking of chucking a 240mm rad in the side of the case (push pull with the two fans already there) and a 120mm rad on the exhaust. Anyone else tried this or any other setup in the Phantom?

I have all of the 200mm slots filled, and have a 140mm fan in the front.

Cheers guys

I think you can get a 240 at least in the roof - or if you are more adventurous, a 280 or 360.

Mounting the radiator on the side panel will have issues - for instance, removing the side panel would be annoying/tedious, and also I would think the radiator + fans would take out the HDD cage.

Thanks

I'd like to keep the 2 200mm fans on the roof, so that's why I was going to use the side panel.

I'm gonna try modding an SSD mount, probably screwing it on to the mobo tray like another user on here somewhere, and I should have enough space in my 5.25" bays for a 1tb drive. Not too bothered about removing the side panel as I'm probably going to use a decent enough length of tubing to let me open it enough to use quick-disconnects. That's if I will need to open it .

I think my mother has a Dremel somewhere in the garage, so I can nick that and take it to Uni to get rid of the unneeded drive cage space
