Watercooling Aerocool DS Cube

Hey folks would like your opinions on a few things just pre ordered the case but want to start thinking about , rads, reservoirs fitting etc.

firstly fittings would like to go white monsoon compression fittings

but anything after that and I'm kinda in no mans land, all I know is I'd like a thick 240 rad so I can run push pull at low rpm, cpu blocks have no real preference to maker but I will need a res/pump combo.

This will initially be cooling a 3570k with a 4.5 over clock and later I'd like to add a GTX 770 which for the time being will be air cooled

thanks for any suggestions

You may be able to fit a 200mm phobya rad up front, I cant see any mounts for 120mm fans so a 200mm may be the only option. Up top you should be able to fit a decently thick radiator.

was thinking of going with something like the Hardware Labs Black ICE Radiator SR1 240 but was wondeing if I could squeeze in a EK-CoolStream RAD XTX (240) but clearance with the rear exhaust fan will have to be checked first.

Even if the top rad and fans stopped installing the rear fan inside the case then you could just install it on the outside of the case I would have thought or just use the top radiator as exhaust and front as intake.

apparently the front only has mounts for a single 120,140 and 200mm fan.

Hi folks sorry to bring this back up but case is on its way and was wondering what you guys think of these parts. like I say they will only cool the CPU initially but later on I'd like to add in a gpu and another rad preferably a 200mm rad at the front of the case if I can sneak it in.

i've moved away from a total custom and picked a pre done kit with a few custom fittings and new tubing because i want blue coolant to match in with my p8z77 i deluxe and the blue and white bitfenix alchemy cables.
