Corsair 600t + H100 (Push/Pull)

[AndyMosh]

I've just been looking at a few youtube videos where people have installed the h100 into the 600t using push pull such as this guy:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Oj2g4mjQLqQ#t=99s

He is using the Scyth Slipstream Slim (12mm) fans at 2000rpm and i've heard they are pretty loud, would it be possible to get some 20mm fans under the h100 instead of the Slipstreams? (it looks like it to me just want other opinions)

Also if that is possible i'm looking for suggestions on some good white led fans that would go in the top compartment (under the detachable mesh) and then some suggestions for under the rad assuming that there are better fans without led that move enough air? I'm looking for a quiet rig so the lowest dbA would be cool but if the extra cfm is needed I'm willing to comprimise.

The h100 originally pushes 92cfm at max so as long as the push/pull reaches that and keeps sort of quiet that'd be awesome.

Last question is if the push/pull config is possible with 20s under the rad, how would the whole thing fit together? Would I need long screws that went through the top fans, rad and bottom fans?

Thanks to whoever helps

In the 600T your motherboard is the limiting factor. If you have no heatsinks at the top and your 8 pin power lead is far enough back you could get thicker fans in there.

to mount the fans you would have to buy new screws for the bottom fans to bolt up just like the top fans..

I think the memory modules will get in the way too, I won't be looking at motherboards until z77 release, so i'll wait until then and have a look around, any suggestions for a good white led fan? Thanks for the reply.

Do you want white fans with leds or just white leds??

for white LEDs , Xigmatek is the people you want, you can get this series in any color, I don't have any but the sound nice.

from what I understand the H-100 is a 25mm thick rad, I have a 30mm thick Black Ice GTS in my 600T and I can clear the memory no problem, I hit the bolts holding down the pump unit, with a 25mm thick fan. 5mm more and It would be really close to fitting.

Yate loon is the only 20mm fans I can find.

P.S. I forgot to mention I'm on 775 socket so, your 1155 bolts will be in a different place.

It was just the white leds i am after so thanks muchly for the suggestion I will keep them in mind when I come to buying the build, I might end up just doing a pull config (if that's possible and provides good cooling) with the fans above the rad under the mesh panel.

If I do need any more speed i'll probably get the Scyth Slims the guy has in the video, won't be getting 2000rpm ones though I think they're way too loud haha.
