Anyone got this to fit in phantom case?

[stevebarnes15]

Was looking at getting this reservoir:

XSPC

But i'm unsure it will fit into the phantom case.

Has anyone got the same in there phantom case or should i opt for the 250mm Blue over the black 500mm?

If getting the blue,would this decrease performance in any way?

measure how tall the phantom is on the inside and check where you could put it as if you have long gpu's it might clash.

you can remove the small HDD cage for more space if you need it

I'm gonna be mounting where the gromits for cable management are so i can remove the fan filter for the 200mm fan space and it can protrude into the roof if needs be,i just cant find my tape,so guess i'll have to go buy one.

Either that or buy a tin of black alu spray for the 250mm,and go with a safe bet.

you havent replaced the filter with another fan yet?

made a 2-3C difference on my CPU temps when I installed it

 

[stevebarnes15]

no not bothered yet,i did move a fan from the side and put into front though,that gave me a marginal difference in system temp to,and airflow seems a bit better,think theres to much pulling in from that side panel personally.

Looking at your specs you're running a 430? If true it should be able to fit between the back of the optical drives and the back of the GPU so long as you take the HDD cage out like Ian said.

 

[stevebarnes15]

yes,running a gt430 still,however will be upgrading mobo,and cpu end of month,and graphics probably month after,but that's no prob,will just get a card that'll fit.

Can you guys reccomend a good universal cpu block,that will fit am3, and 1155,as i plan on leak testing on the am3 until i get my 2500 end of month.

EK Supreme HF (high flow) is one Toms used before, find them in many different flavours here.
