I haven't checked the specs on your radiator yet but are you aware you only have 30mm clearance above the motherboard to mount a radiator? I've got a CPU loop in my 600T and I found the hardware labs stealth blackice 240 to be the best rad for a 600T. The last thing you want is to buy a radiator and find out you don't have the clearance.

True. But if that is the case then I plan to dremel out the top and put the rad on top instead of where the fans go. But we'll see. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kr2WYJmUB80

Yeah looks like you'll be dremeling, your radiator is 37mm thick so it won't clear your ram but nice build anyway, have fun:thumb:

Haha thanks for the support! It is already starting to seem like a headache but I'll learn from it. There's so much I'm learning right now and I like it!

New shiny parts are always fun to get in the mail. And the you start to fit things and go "AAAAARRRRRGHHHH"

The radiator out the top isn't too tough, Just take your time. Another way to do it is to just pop some holes exactly where the fittings would come through the case, leaving a little room fro the hoses.

Sub'd your thread to keep up with the progress. You'll get some great insight here, always fun to see a project come together.

Hi! Love the case, i have an empty one waiting to get filled, i will be watching you!

Usually people cant find this thread, so i will post it here incase you need some help...

http://www.overclock.net/t/831636/official-corsair-graphite-club

...but since you've already bought a bunch of parts, you probably wont't need much advise. But that club is full of great people ready to give you a hand. Post a link to your build log and you will probably get a few extra watchers willing to help

A fill port and a drain port are definitely a must, always help full to have both it seems!

[Build Log] My First Liquid Cooling Project 600t/2500k/6870

Wow, I'm quite surprised that I am the first one to review this monitor. I probably won't be able to get all technical with this review, but I would like to write out what makes this a great...

I remember the first time I set my eyes on the Silverstone TJ07. It was like looking A PC Tower that screamed quality and versatility! The case is very light, unlike other full tower cases. Thumbs...

I had this case for a good while and it was such a joy. Everyone that saw my computer called it "The Tank" because they loved the beefy looks of it. I found the case to be very easy to work with...

I run 2 of these in my Quad-SLI rig. 0 coil whine... Software has worked well for me, not without "some" problems but, not a bad experience, either. When I called in about my issues (I purchased...

Okay. So I am kind of a nerd for finding computer cases and what I think looks good and matches peripherals and such. Many people don't pay attention to these things but I happen to and I'm glad I...
