There are options to make a tidier loop with 45 and 90 degree barb fittings and obviously fan choices but we could go on for ever, so lets move on to a completely custom loop including adding in a GPU block. Adding in a GPU to the loop may seem complicated but again if you take your time and choose your parts wisely its actually quite easy.
You will to start by buying all the parts separately because we would need to make some changes to the loop. We'll use the RX radiator from the kit before but we will also need to add an extra radiator in the loop for extra cooling. The quickest and easiest option here is to fit the 35mm thick XSPC EX in the roof as this will not interfere with your motherboard components at all and all you need to do is bolt the fans to the outside of the case underneath the mesh.
If, like the board in the video, you don't have any mosfet heat sinks at the top of your motherboard then you can squeeze in the Koolance 45mm thick rad but its tighter than a nuns naughty bits and we would probably just use the EX anyway. Once you've got the rads, next up is a pump and reservoir within 7 - 10 days of this review going live Alphacool will have some new ceramic pumps hitting the market, they are small, quiet and move quite a bit of fluid considering their size.
There is also a single bay res available that you can fit 2 of the pumps to for a single loop and they reportedly perform as well as a 10w DDC pump. So you have the radiators the pumps and res you then just need to pick a CPU block.
I've linked the Raystorm above but feel free to pick and choose what you like. It is a little tight to fit but is actually secure enough once fitted you don't actually need any hose clips!
Should this keep you up at night worrying you'll have a coolant dyed carpet in the morning a simple ziptie is fine for an extra bit of security. For the absolute ultimate in radiator fan performance we couldn't recommend anything other than the Noctua NF-F12 they are not the cheapest option but you can pretty much run these fans at 12v and not hear them and they'll out perform fans making 4x as much noise! We know this has become more of a watercooling guide than a normal review but as said before we have covered this case before and thought we would show case how ripe this case is for all you modders and watercoolers out there.

RSS Newsletter Join. Introduction It can get very difficult when a manufacturer makes a new case and only changes the colour, to find enough to say about it to make it worth an entirely new review. Specifications Supports two USB 3. CPU Only Loop. But with only front intake, can't say it would have swayed me over my Sniper.
I do like having the large side screen and fan over my s. Wait a min NC37 Hmmm Eh, If I'm gonna buy a case, I want one with already good airflow. I have enough struggle with cable management and such.. Which brings me to another question.. Core fan perhaps?
I always liked the general look of the
