RS 120mm 450L or RS 240mm 750L

I have a bit of a dilemma i want to use the 240mm rad but it will have to be mounted externally on my enforcer on the top which it can and i dont mind but i dunno how to get the tubes from inside the case to the rad as the water cooling holes are too close to the top and i would kink the hose trying to get it in there.

Other option is to get the 120mm kit and mount the 120mm rad internally in push/pull config which one shall i get as i had a antec 620 i would get 59C on my 4Ghz OC i dont want huge OC so if the 120 kit will be enough ill get that as it cheaper and easier. but if the 240mm kit is going to be better how will i hook it up on my case?

Honestly I think you will have the same problem with a 120 rad as you did with your antec. I would suggest getting the 240, and you can get a koolance or swiftech rad mount that mounts to the same place as the rear 120 fan is. Then the Rad will be on the back of your case, not the top, and you will be able to use the two holes at the top for tubes.

If you don't want to do that option, you have three choices:

1. Figure out a way to mount it that works even if it mean modding the case.

2. Buy a bigger case(like the CM 690II advance that is just a little more expensive than the enforcer).

3. Get a Noctua D14 and water cool another build when you get a bigger case.

Hope this helps.

well i dont want to mount it on the back as it will make my case stick out a mile from under the desk i can mount on top i had mounting holes but how to get the hose from the rad to the water cooling holes is what i need to figure out i think they would kink if there is a fitting i can get that would sort it it would be easy.

I dont want to change the case also another guy said that the 120mm rad was good on his I5 review of it on this forum 120mm rad are not useless.

check out some fittings. I know BitsPower has a 5 way snake rotary adapter that would probably work so you could make the connections.

hmm but in 10cm and a snake i would need a barb at each end and one on the rad still this would be too crapped and i reckon impossible to do im lost for ideas other than just getting the 120 kit.

to get the 240 kit it is £129 but i will have to spend £10 on coolant and about 30-40 on fittings at this rate this takes this out of my budget i think i should get the 120 its can only be better than my antec 620 anyway faster pump better quality block and rad more fluid and bigger tubing so i will get lower temps i only need to stop my cpu going up 3C.

Then when i have more money and a more practical case in the future and new cpu's might run cooler if i need i can change out the pump and add another rad.

would a rx 120mm rad give better temps with a single fan than say the rs120 rad and 2 fans?
