Switch 810 Build

[The Orange One]

Hi guys!
A the title says, soon I Will be building a rig inside the NZXT Switch 810.
It will be watercooled, and I Am just wondering what is the maximum thickness Rad i can fit in the top of the case?

depends on you motherboard and how you are going about it...

TTL said in his review video that an 80mm will go in with fans in the roof.

60mm is no probs with fans in the roof but push pull will depend on your motherboard.

hope this helps

Thanks Mate. If it's any help - The motherboard will be either a Rampage IV Extreme, or a Rampage IV Formula

80mm Will fit but you need to mod the case if you want the fittings at the front.

its the heatsinks that might catch you out, im about to start my 810 build, changed my mind and went for that case last minute but it is an epic case.

i have gone for a 60mm in the top and hoping i can squeeze push pull out of it with my selected mobo. But thats purely for looks tbh

with the boards you have listed i think i would say 50mm if you want push pull or 80mm for just pull.

are you going 360 or 420 rad in the top? is there another in the bottom? what are you planning on cooling etc? im just curious

 

[The Orange One]

I'll be putting a 360 up top, and a 240mm Monsta 80mm Thick rad in the bottom

grrrrr!

thats what i was originally planning to do until i get offered some radiators from a friend at a price i couldnt resist. - thats going to be an epic build!!

if it were me in that boat? i would probably say drop in the 360 monsta in the top, just because it will look awesome!

 

[The Orange One]

Would only 3 Corsair SP120'S Be Sufficient for it, in your opinion?

 

[Chimp]

i cant see that being a problem, whats in the loop? cpu, gpus? etc?

 

[The Orange One]

It'll have 1 x 3930K - Overclocked to about 4.3 Ghz
1x GTX 670 - Hopefully overclocked
Later I Might Add another GTX 670

you have plenty of cooling then, that should run nice and quiet with slow fans

 

[The Orange One]

The main aim of this rig is, Performance, of course, and slience! I'm sick and Tired of my current AMD FX-6100 Rig and the noise

 

[Chimp]

Well i looked first hand at a rig today that was cooling a GTX 580 and an i7 950 on a single 360 x 60 radiator.

Decent overclocks to on the set up and noise / temp was quite good to be honest.

the GTX 670 is a cooler card than the 580, and you will have the extra 240 rad.. im pretty confident you have enough to get what you want out of it. Im not an expert (this build will be my first adventure with water cooling) but all the research i have done is telling me you will be laughing.
