NZXT Guardian - Water cooling

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
Okay so I have the NZXT Guardian case, and I want to invest in a watercooling,
I found a nice looking watercooling kit, The XSPC Rasa 750 RS360, the radiator is 3x120mm but my case only provides 1 1x120mm fan space at the top of the case, so my only choice would be to run the radiator externally, now this is where the question comes in.
If I was to run it externally through 2 holes at the back of the pc and ontop of the case, is there a certain way I need to have the radiator so it works to full capacity and doesnt blow the air back into the case ( the 1x120mm hole ontop of the case ) Would I need to make something for it? or will it be fine?

Thanks for future references

I would suggest that you either get a new case, mod you existing case, or get an H80. If you were to mod your existing case, you should make a bracket on the top that comes up from the top of the case at a 90deg angle. It should be 360mm long, have 4 places to screw the bracket onto the case and the rad onto the bracket. I uploaded a picture drawn in paint for a reference as to what I am talking about.
