Okay, so I can no longer afford to throw money away taking guesses at what I need to watercool my PC.

I have a Define R4 and know I can only just fit a 140mm radiator in the back with my P67 Sabertooth motherboard. (Had to drill new screw holes into the case.)

I know I can only fit a 240mm in the roof and not a 280mm due to the RAM/heatsinks on the motherboard.

However, can anyone help me with whether or not I can get a 280mm radiator in the front? I know due to there being two 140mm fans you would instantly think yes, however the way the fans mount into the front of the R4 is a nightmare.

So my main question, has anyone watercooled an i7 2600k and GTX 680 or similar in a Define R4 and can give me any tips.

I have an XSPC 750 V4 Bay Res/Pump, EK 2.2 Pump and Res add-on. 2 litres of Mayhems Ultra Pure H20, 4 meters of white tubing, Raystorm block, and an EX140mm radiator. I also have 6 barb fittings and 6 monsoon compression fittings.
 
Anyone?

I've just ordered a Hardware Labs Black Ice SR1 240mm Radiator.

Hopefully this will do a better job than the XSPC EX140 I have now.
 
I was starting to look at watercooling my setup as well - iirc you had to mod the front to fit in a 280mm rad. I might have this bookmarked actually.
 
Thanks, however I think I'm going to ditch the idea of watercooling as pumps just seem to make way to much noise for it to be viable.
