What Rads for my setup?

[MrBish]

Hi guys

I've just been wondering what sort of rads would be needed to cool a 2600k OC'd and a GTX 580. I have a CM Storm Trooper and I don't know whether I want to save myself some money and keep this case, or get a different case which can show off some watercooling better. (I am aware of the side panel thanks to Tom's video, but I don't think it's right because of the different shapes from the right side to left)

So what rads would fit a Storm Trooper and cool those well enough quietly?

Otherwise I'd look at another case, but not too sure which one.

P.S I'm probably not doing this any time soon, it's just a thought in the back of my head as my rig can get quite loud during games or folding and a nice WC loop might be a way to cure these problems/niggles haha

you would want the equivalent of a thick 360 for that rig, dunno about rad placement in a storm trooper but a thick 240mm + 120mm or a 360mm would be my choice

Yea minimum of 360x60 for that.

just saying, if you can't get that in there is no point spending £300 odd quid to watercool a pc because your temps wont be great and the rig wont be silent

Well I don't own one but I like to think that him having made his way here he would also be able to use Google and find reviews like the rest of us. A quick search reveals to me that a cpu loop with a 60mm 240 or 280 rad would fit in the roof with fans on top of the chassis.

Like Ruthless - I don't have time to run through every single case cooling option and spoon feed people for every post...so I offer what advice I have.

I have watched Tom's video again and he says that you could get a 60mm rad in the roof if you put the fans on the outside. There is also room in the bottom of the case for a rad if you remove the tray.

360 in the roof,it has been done.
