Proposed HAF 912 Loop

post #1 of 22

Thread Starter 
Alright guys so Ive searched the internet high and low to find ANYONE who has put a CPU/GPU loop into a HAF 912 and I cannot find it but I have a plan here to do so myself sometime down the road (hopefully sometime soon)! And I'm just curious does this look okay to you watercoolers out there? This will be my first endeavor into liquid cooling and I just wanted to know what you think!

The Plan:
338

Check my amazing paint skills? tongue.gif

What are you planning to make intake/exhaust? Both rads on exhaust with the rear 120 as intake?

Sorry about that! I forgot to include fan placements. doh.gif But this is how the fan mounts are arranged in the HAF 912. This is how I was planning to set it up.

Here is the NewEgg page, check towards the bottom of the "Details" tab for all the fan mounting options on the 912. thumb.gif

what kind of ambient temperatures are you having? what kind of air-cooling temps do you have?
i believe your radiators will do a so-so job in controlling the heat with the AMD overclock and GPU.
it'll be fine for a couple of hours straight, but longer load times it'll start to diminish in performance.
thats why you are having trobles in finding a brillant strategy for water-cooling the HAF912. it isnt
the easiest.
thats why you see alot of RX240 rads bolted to the rooftops. to get it right for cooling the standard (60mm thick) radiator is really needed, especially for a dual block loop.
even this cat is already looking to upgrade because it is not enough to deal with the heat.

If you're doing both CPU and GPU like that, I would probably use a thick front 120 (instead of thin) or 240 if you remove the bottom hdd brackets. Also, don't forget that you can put a thin 120 on the side-panel intake if you want as long as you leave enough tubing.

Yeah, that's kind of why I wanted to do it, I like the challenge and I really like this case the airflow IS really good. My ambient temps are anywhere from 29c-33c and its Summer here now. And I see "average" temps on my stock air cooling but I've always wanted to get into water cooling and more extreme over-clocking. Here what about this? I have two more options that I was looking at. (Always have a back-up plan/plans) biggrin.gif

One:
338

Two:
338

And I could even go for the 240 x 60mm rad in the front even though it would be tight, and there are a few more options than just those three but do I really need THAT much rad space? (I don't really know, never watercooled before) headscratch.gif

Now that'd be an interesting look what with the window and everything, but I didn't even think about that! I'll have to keep that in-mind. Don't really wanna sacrifice the window though!

If you want people to help estimate how much rad you need, you'll want to either post your component list or total max watt use from the components. CPU + GPU + Pump
