Can I fit Extended ATX (EATX) motherboard in Corsair Vengeance C70 casing?
Yes you can & without any mod to the case. Please pay attention to the size though. The biggest E-ATX so far that I know will fit without modification & without blocking the rubber grommet is 27.2 cm.

This thread is supposed to be "Owner Club" thread. Your thread is more toward build log & the other threads are open by someone who don't own this casing at all.

How is your build coming up? I'm more than happy to put link to your thread in first post (Build Log section).

Well I think we should all agree to make this the thread for all infomation and build logs then. Just so when people need infomation they know they can come here instead of those other threads. Easier said than done with some people I know but oh well.

Build is good, assembled the res/pump and just waiting really. Case should be here next week sometime along with the monsoon compression fittings, so we will buy all the remaining parts next week when my brother gets back from europe and hopefully get started once we have it all.

You can include it in the first post sure.

I do plan to add second loop for graphic card. Need to save the money first.
Thanks.

Yeah custom loops are always expensive but once you have them they last a long time.

I hope it lives up to our expectations. We have very high hopes for it, only thing being I hope a 140mm rad and a 280mm rad are enough for the GTX 690 and 3930k but you can't fit anything bigger in the case. It's too cramped. Hence why I'm buying an NZXT Switch 810 for myself for my build next week with his parts. We will see whos rig is better.

Hey, so right now I've got a water-cooled Phantom 410, and am planning on moving everything over to a C70. However, I plan to swap one of my 120mm radiators for a 240mm. My main question here is how many fan connections are built into the C70? I'm on active status 1300 miles away from home and thus don't have all my molex cables for my PSU to easily add more fans to a case. I appreciate your help!
smile.gif

There are three 120mm fans came with the casing; one at rear & the other two at 3.5" HDD bay. They are 3-pin PWM connectors, so you don't need extra molex cables for them.

Summary of where you can put the fans and/or radiator(s), including the location of the included fans:-
  1. At the top, you can put:-
    • 2 x 120mm fans (fans not included)

      OR
    • 2 x 120mm rad or 1 x 240mm rad
      If you want to put push/pull setup, you will need to put the other two fans outside the casing.
  2. At the rear, there is one 120mm fan.
  3. 2 x 120mm fans at the 3.5" HDD bay.
  4. 2 x 120mm fans at the front (fans not included).
  5. 2 x 120mm fans at the bottom (fans not included)

    OR
    1 x 120mm rad or 2 x 120mm rad or 1 x 240mm rad (the last two will need the bottom 3.5" HDD bay to be removed).
450

You also can read this review which might help you planning where you want to put your rad, pump, etc:-

You won't easily fit a 240mm rad on the bottom from what I've seen. You'd need a 160mm PSU and even then, it'd be just enough space. Personally I can't find any that size with enough power for my needs so I had to settle for a 140mm rad.

Even then not all 240mm rads will fit in the space, it'll be tight and not really ideal, not to mention a lot of 240mm rads will only line up upside down and thats far from ideal (air bubbles).

These are the only real issues with the case, the space in the bottom and side for rads and the top not being compatable with more than a 280mm rad. Other than that and the restricted airflow on the HDD cages the case is fantastic from what I've seen.

According to this picture:-

You have two 120mm rads. Since you're going to replace one of the 120mm rad with 240mm, you can put 240mm at the top, while for the 120mm rad, you can put at rear.

For the space at the bottom, you also can put 240mm rad but like Sexparty mention in previous post, if the PSU is a bit longer, it gonna challenging to put 240mm rad there. But I think it's doable.

@PositiveKarma, beautiful setup!

The problem is the rubber gromit. It's sooo far away from the PSU. If you can cut a new hole where the PSU actually ends I think it's doable but anything short of that, it's going to be real difficult to line the rad up with those holes and get it and fans and cables to fit.

I would love to see someone try but I just don't want you to do it and think everything will be fine when I think its' more possible that it won't be. But yeah I'd say a 280mm rad on the top and a 120mm or 140mm rad on the bottom would be the best idea. Ideal and perfect rad for the bottom would be the Hardware Labs GTX M184 2x92mm fans. Shorter than a 240mm rad by 60mm but I wanted all Koolance and all 35mm rads for my build so opted against it for aesthetics.

Just a precaution, you might want to keep an eye on this forum. Corsair might released a fixed for this issue, probably better design to overcome the problem.

I agree, the rubber gromit is too far away. I'm going to put 240mm there (for GPU) & it is the only place I can put it because the top space already occupied by 240mm rad. I know it's going to be difficult but I have to try anyway. I also wanted either Koolance or XSPC.

I have ATI 5870. I just got it last year & I don't feels the need to upgrade to newer GPU yet. My 5870 is under-utilized because I use it for external GPU on my notebook before. So, I thought want to utilized this GPU for a couple of months before consider an upgrade. Since 5870 is an old card, I only found one full cover waterblock for it - XSPC Razor 5870. So, the other things I need are:-
  1. 240mm radiator - this is going to be difficult to install since it's 275mm
  2. Pump - Can you suggest which pump should I choose in this list?
  3. If the pump is "Reservoir Pump", do I still need reservoir? Which is better, single or double bay reservoir?
  4. Tubing
  5. Do I need to buy fittings?
I have no experience setting up watercooling before. That's why I got H100 for CPU but I want custom loop for my GPU.

It is the only place you can put one which is a shame. I also wanted uniformity with the fans and fan size for aesthetics which is why I went 140mm and 280mm. Anyways the radiator I'd reccomended is the Swiftech MCR220 XP. It beats the XSPC RX equivalent at 1400-2200RPM which is a 58mm radiator and the Swiftech is only a 37mm. It's also one of the best tested by martinsliquidlab. It's 280mm in total length so I suggest you cut some cardboard to it's dimensions and see how it'll fit in the case.

http://www.swiftech.com/MCRX20-XP-RADIATOR-SERIES-1.aspx#tab3

Tubing I'd go for whatever 1/2 ID tubing appeals to you colour wise etc.

Fittings these are my favourite. Monsoon Compression Fittings. The centre can be independently tightened and then the outside and makes for a very nice fit, they also come in 6packs which make buying a lot cheaper.

http://www.dangerden.com/store/compression-fittings/

Pump and reservoir depend on where you want to place them. Personally I am really not a fan of drivebay res/pumps. Don't like the look at the front of the case and don't like the way they are hard to fill and empty. I prefer a reservoir in the case that's easily accessable. More like the koolance PMP-400 with Koolance RP-400 top which you can fit a reservoir to. Which is probably what I'd reccomend and can handle a few rads and diferent waterblocks easily. Which looks like this (with a reservior and top cap) and is easy to mount to any surface in the case without much trouble. Preferably over the intake of a case so it also cools it. http://www.frozencpu.com/products/15567/ex-pmp-190/Koolance_G14_Threaded_Acetal_COV-RP400_Pump_Base_w_Pump_Reservoir_Installed.html

No problem, look forward to seeing what you come up with. Talking to my brother now about adding some koolance waterblocks to his X79 Sabertooth motherboard. Seem pretty bad ass only issue being how on earth do you route the tubing with them. Could get messy.
