Cooler Master Haf 912 and Water Cooling.

post #1 of 16

Thread Starter 
I currently have and use a Cooler Master Haf 912. Currently I am cooling my cpu with a Cooler Master Hyper 212+ but next week I will be receiving my first full non AIO water cooling loop. It will contain 2 radiators, a 120rad and 360rad. I am trying to figure out how I could use the 360rad with out having to use it externally. Only thing I can think of is running it at the top of my case and have some of the rad installed in the Bay drive under the front panel USB and Audio ports. Are there any other ways I can configure this set up with a 360rad using a Haf 912 or am I sol?

you could do it like me, if you dont mind sacrificing drive bays!
338
and you could mount your hdds anywhere, my advice would be on the back door, in the open space... imo

Dang thats pretty slick right there. Yah I would have to do some major modding to get that to work. My res/pump combo is going to have to go into the drive bay.

yup... i have a bay rez, just drilled a few holes where the extra pci bracket is and mounted it with the faceplate screws so i could monitor my water level from the back of my case without opening it, also had to do some modding to the 5.25 bay covers for to get the top fan for the push and pull and had to make a cut in the bottom of the case to get the rad to line up with the pre setup front fan area, but wasnt too hard, dunno why you would run a combo tho, the d-5 pumps are sooo much better... imo

one more thing to note, if you want to run your 360 up top, it will hit your ran, therefore will not fit in almost any fan configuration, definently not p&p

If you change your mind and decide to mount the 360 rad externally, consider using a Koolance Radiator Mounting Bracket with Quick Release. Quite an elegant solution it is.

Yeah if I had the money I would definitely do something like that but I am already in the hole on this rig. I am lucky I am even getting this water cooling system from my cousin. I might try to ghetto rig something externally if possible unless if someone would be so kind to donate me a rad bracket =P

Yeah the bay res I am getting I think is going to be two thick for that. I think it is a double sized res with the pump inside it. So I am not sure if that would work for me but Ill check into it.

Butterz, is your 360 front rad have a push only set up? I am planning to do the same thing to my haf 912 and was wondering how you set up push/pull if you did.
