Getting wet

[HeaT]

Looking at getting my PC wet for the first time.

I'm thinking of getting the XSPC Rasa 750 RS240 or the RS360 kit.

I have a 600T case and wanting to cool my 2500k and my GPUS(460 SLI) if the above kit's can handle adding a GPU to the loop.

Also, Would I need to mod my 600T to be able to install the kit?

You cant really do cpu and gpu on those kits.

the 240 would have no chance, and the RS360 is too thin to properly handle the temps of even 1 graphics card, let alone 2.

Also, the pump from the RASA kits isnt good enough for that, you'd need like a D5 or something.

The 600T isnt really the best case for it, and you'll struggle to cool everything well enough in it.

James is pretty spot on with his reply the rs series is thinner than the rx and wont do all 3 and the pump will struggle some with 3 blocks and the 360 rad. Where I dont agree is I believe the 240 will cool one gpu decently and the 360 will do both decently. It wont with the cpu in the loop. While you want see great temps on the cpu's with the 360 you should see a small drop in both with a little quieter operation.

you'll want imho is a 360 rad at least 60mm thick and a 240 60mm thick rad. Remember the fermi's of the 400 series ran hot to start with. I'd look at upgrading ur case first to something that will support a thicker rad. Or be prepared to mod your 600t to fit 2 rads. You might get away with 360 and 240's of the EX range but you'll most likely have to ramp up the fans to keep temps in check. Defeating the purpose of water cooling to begin with. Now the fans ramped up while noisy imho will be a different sound compared to the 460's fans ramping up so it might be a trade off for you. Loud leafblowers compared to loud wind noise lol.

Sorry - did mean the 240 would have no chance cooling the 1 GPU and the CPU, not just the GPU on it's own. Should have probably written that clearer

Ok cheers guys.

What would be a decent case to upgrade to? Nothing to expensive. £150 max

I love my Switch 810 it should fall in that price range. There 169$ here in the US

Do some more research mate. If you need to ask whether you can fit a 360 rad in a 600t without modding you need to take a step back and start from the beginning.

This is the best start:
-What kind of rad space will I need?
-What kind of rad space can my case provide?

A kit like that is easier for a beginner but it's better to get individual components imo. The pump looks naff too. The xspc kits with D5s however are not bad imo.

The 600t has few easy bolt-in and go watercooling options. You have to be careful with the top rad and fans fouling any mosfets heatsinks on your mobo and you need to remove the drive cages to mount a 200mm rad in the front.

To try and answer your question: you can fit a slim 240 in the roof in some configurations with no modding. You need to put the fans in the roof and bolt through them into the rad. You need to remove the rubber fan grommets because corsair didn't factor in the extra 2 or 3 mm from these into the mesh panel height, so if you put fans in the roof on these it bulges out slightly. Slim 240 is cpu only.

You can fit a slim 360 in the roof but you need a dremel to cut the top. I'm guessing you don't want to do this.

Tom has a watercooling guide for the 600t that you should take a look at.

Also, If you want to w/c 460s you're probably going to need to buy universal GPU waterblocks to cool the cores, then you may need to get ramsinks for the ram and vrms etc (I don't know if the 460 has any kind of stock cooling plate that can be left on or w/e). You could try and find full cover blocks.. probably difficult now though. And tbh I would save the money you'd spend on watercooling the 460s and put it towards a new card.

Thanks, Will check out some reviews on it

How someone can own a case and still ask if it will fit Ill NEVER know


annoys me some of spend hours trying to teach people then you get the lazy people who cba to even research their problems first.


ITS ON THE FRONT PAGE!

I knew the 240 would fit but was unsure if that will be able to handle everything I wanted. Thinking the 360 is a bigger rad it may handle it but might not of fitted without moding or upgrading the case.

Chill.. I have watched many videos (yours included) and that's the main reason I wanted to start getting in to water cooling for the first time.
