need advce on water cooling - Page 2

post #11 of 13
That should work quite decent as H100 is said to be pretty reasonable closed loop, however, I think it might be better to just go with a loop for roughly the same price (the 240mm kit I linked earlier, for example) as it should offer a bit better performance and, most importantly, it will not go waste if you get a bit more funds down the road and decide to upgrade the cooling with an extra radiator and GPU block.

I'm aware of the case in general but have not used it myself. Should be pretty decent case altho in my personal opinion a bit overpriced and engineered. For that price I would already go for something ... larger - for example, CM Storm Trooper, if you prefer handle. Or if preferring mid tower then take a look at Corsair C70 which is also pretty water cooling friendly case.

The C70 can hold 1 thick 240 rad and 1 thin 280 rad internally, I am almost positive. If water cooling is your plan, look at case specs before anything. I am almost positive that the CM Stormtrooper was designed as an air cooled case, and does not support much in the way of rad mounting. If you have a Microcenter nearby, you can get the NZXT Switch 810 for $119 and it will hold a 360/420 up top in push-pull, a 240 in the bottom push-pull or a 280 at the front push-pull, and even has room for 1-2x 140mm rads. That is a ton of space, and at the price, it's the absolute best case for the money IMHO.
