:confused:i have got all the parts narrowed down for my build apart from the rad
the spec is
i5 2500k
gainward phantom 570
these are to be water cooled maybe the mb too but im so confused:confused: as there are way too meny rads to pick from would like a 360mm rad as it would fit right in the case with no modding could maybe put a 140mm rad on the back as well if needed
thanks dan;)
 
Either RX360, EK XTX360 or a phobya g-changer 1.2 360.

All are similar thickness (~60mm) you should be able to fit a thick 120 in the back along side it too, I measured up I would be able to fit an XTX360 + RX120 in my 800D.
 
Don't mean to jump your thread, but maybe it's useful/relevant...

Does anyone recommend Alphacool NexXxoS Ut60/Monsta .360 Rads?

They are both over 60mm (Monsta 80mm)
 
I say 120 in the rear as I'm not sure if a 140 will clash with the side panel, you can however fit a 140 in the bottom.

80mm thick may be pushing it, iirc you have about 90mm before you start clashing with things, will measure again tonight if it helps everyone.
 
A phobya 360 fits in the roof no probs

A 120 or 140 rad fits in the rear fan mount no probs

See my 700D

What speed fans will you be using? This is one of the major factors when choosing a rad as different rads have different fins per inch and are suited to different fan speeds.
 
Yes mate. just removed the lower drive bays and then cut out space for 1.120. The other half of the 2.120 rad overhangs the lower dust filter "port"
 
i got some 1850 sythes gt with a phoba g-changer rad
thats some serious radedge in your 800d.what temps do you get?
i did look at the 80mm rad but you would need your fans to work quite hard to flow air threw it an i think that the fans would have to go outside the case otherwise it would look all crammed in.
