Water cooling for CPU advice please - Page 2

post #11 of 14
The Kuhler 920 is still taller then a 120mm fan so it wont fit onto one of the back fans spots perfectly. You can do what I did with the Corsair h70 though and attach it to the bottom bolts of the top 120mm.



As you can see it leaves plenty of room for using multiple GPUs. The bolts which come with it are the right size and length to connect through the back of the case and the two is enough to hold it perfectly rigid.

i did about 3 months of research ont he whole closed loop water cooling thing and ended up going for a nh-d14, especially if a single rad system is the best you can do, the d14 is cheaper, quiter and there's no risk of leaking pup not working etc etc uneless your going for a reall good overclock i wouldnt bother with custom water loop as theres all the maintenence

I fitted my Antec H2o 920 in an Antec 1200V3 on the footprint of the TOP rear exhaust fan with the hoses at the bottom, it overhung the lower fan by about 10mm but still fitted in lovely in the exact footprint of the fan on all the four fan screws, with both fans working fine.

For an Antec 1200v3 I'd def recommend the Antec 920 h2o CPU cooler

Incidentally you've fitted that radiator upside down, the feed / return should be at the base of the radiator ?
