case for watercooling

[blair]

hi,

what case could take a 360mm 60mm thick rad in the top and another 360mm 35mm thick rad else where inside the case or 1 360mm 60mm thick and some 240mm rads?

Take a look @ the NZXT switch 810

Something from Caselabs will support your needs.

Or a MountainMod case can do aswell

The Switch 810, it will fit a 60mm 360 and a up to around 80mm 240 rad, can't see you needing more radige than that

Switch 810 is good!

I just got mine last week - it now has me thinking loads of crazy mods!

 

[KING_OF_SAND]

Cosmos II, 800D, mountain mods, case labs, some Silverstone fortress are the better cases.

also another question it took ages to bleed my loop with a single D5 pump set to max an the loops has:

1 cpu block
2x gpu block
1x 360mm 60mm thick rad
1x 120mm rad
and some angled fittings

and the water seemed to flow really slow so would adding more rad space slow it down even more?

 

[Master&Puppet]

Na radiators are designed to be unrestrictive. Your d5 won't have any issue with that.

With the bleeding there's not much you can do other than give it a gentle shake and let it run really. Keep the res topped up so the pump doesn't start throwing bubbles into the system.

also im using the 360 60mm thick rad and a 120mm 30mm thick rad will a 360mm 60mm thick rad + a 240mm 60mm thick rad really have much temp difference?

 

[Josh Weston]

In your scenario, where you have an overclocked 3930k and two overclocked 7970s I believe the more the merrier. What you're running at the moment really isn't sufficient, in my mind, for what you're hooking it up to.

Take a look @ the NZXT switch 810

I agree, I've got this case and there is shed loads of space in it. You should be able to easily fit in on of the rads in the top of the case and (if you remove on of the HDD racks) you can should be able to get another smaller rad in the bottom.
Have a look online at the specs for this case and see if it will fit your needs.

 

[blair]

Yea i think thats the case im going to change too then have to sell the haf x
how many fans it got in the front?

 

[Erinyes1103]

You can get two in the front and then another one on each of the HDD enclosures.

The Switch 810 is the case I should of got when I changed mine instead of the Cosmos 2.

The Switch 810 iirc will fit a 360mm 60mm deep rad in the roof with push/pull, and a 240mm 60mm deep rad in the bottom with relative ease iirc from TTL's video review.

The Cosmos 2 will only fit a 360mm 35mm deep rad in the roof and a single set of fan's in the separate roof compartment, and can fit also 2x 240mm 60mm rad's in the bottom with a single set of fan's or a 360mm 60mm rad in the bottom with push/pull but it is, a very tight squeeze dependent on the length of your psu.

The Switch 810 can accomodate up to 10 120mm or 140mm fans (and if you do two sets of triple fans in the top, then you have a total of 13 fans.)

Radiators, well, that's up to you and how you want to build your rig. I've seen triple rads in the front (modded), dual rads in the front, dual rads in the bottom, triple rads up top. Again, it's up to how you spec your build and what you're going to do with it.

tj07 = quad radiator in the bottom, another 60mm thick 240mm radiator in the floor, 240mm in the roof as well (360 with a bit of modding) = win

id go with the switch 810 or the cm storm stryker/trooper... if tom likes em that much, they cant be bad!!!
