Hello

Was wondering if any1 could tell me if it is possible to have a 280x45 or 30 mm rad in front, with a 280x45mm rad in top, while haveing 31mm extended top?

and can you have a 120/140mm rad in the rear, if you have one 280 mm rad in front and a 240mm rad in the top ?

Cheers.

Actually, you would probably be better off going the other way: put the 30mm on top and the 45mm in front, but that combination should work if you orient the radiators correctly.

The 120/140 in the rear might be a tough fit because it could interfere with the barbs from the 280 above it.

I should point out the the fit can be very, very close and is dependent on a couple of things. The S3 has 32mm of clearance above the Flex-Bays which is why a 30mm radiator would be the preferred choice there (making sure it really is 30mm). The next thing is that the design of the front mounted radiator has to allow it to be flush with the top of the Flex-Bay mount (or the mount has to be modified to allow that). That would place the barbs at the rear and the bottom of the case. Before trying to mount another radiator on the back, you'll probably need to see how much room you'll have to work with taking into account the barb fittings. Honestly, a 280/240 is a safer combination, but with careful planning, a 280/280 combo could be made to work (with an extended top cover).
