Watercooling Question :

The Orange One

New member
Hi Peeps!
I Have a Few questions that I Need help answering, In regards to watercooling. I Would be extremely Grateful if you could help me out!

1. I know, after watching TTL's Switch 810 Review, an Alphacool 80mm Thick Rad will fit in the top, But what length will fit in the Switch? 360mm (3 X 120mm Fans) or 420mm (3 X 140mm Fans)

2. Following on from Question One, Would One Set of Cosair SP 120 Performance Edition be Sufficient on the Monsta Rad?

3. Would this Have enough cooling potential for a 3930k (Hopefully Overclocked to 4.3 ghz, If I Can get it to run at low enough Voltages) and 2/3 GTX 680's? :
1 X Alphacool 360mm / 420mm Monsta Rad
1 X Alphacool 240mm / 280mm Monsta Rad?

Sorry for all the Questions guys, but I Just want to be sure!

I managed to fit a 420 up the top of my switch with some screw hole modification. Don't expect push/pull to work with every motherboard though.

I'm running 2 loops for my 3930K and 2 580gtx's the cpu is on the 420 and the cards are on a 280

The bottom rad is currently mounted vertically using the front fan mount which was a bit awkward and required some modification to the bottom of the case, this is a 280 on mine.

I believe a 240 will fit horizontally fine in the bottom, you'd be pushing it with a 280 really which is why I fit it vertically at the expense of the drive bays :)

Hope this helps, I'll be slapping images up soon hopefully (got the motherboard blocks so i can finish it off this weekend)
 
Thanks a Lot for the Speedy Response!

If I Install a 'Monsta' Rad - I'll only have 1 set of fans Pulling out the Case
I Have just seen a recent News article stating that NZXT Will now manufacture the 810's with the correct mountings for 140mm fans and Rads up top.

The Drive bays are of no need to me, so I Will probably end up mounting it Vertically.

P.S How are your Temps?
