looks like a really good plan/start. I can't wait to see how this comes out.

Hey nice start! Look forward to seeing the build. I bet you'll like WC'ing, most do. You can get better clocks with a higher v-core and lower temp's. Plus its just a lot of fun to play with..

..I like you rad mounts!

I'll leave you my PDF, its just the way I set my rigs up, it has my coolant recipe in it to if you haven't already decided on one.

Looks to be awesome! What fans are you going to use on the rad?

If you don't mind me asking. Where did you get those aluminum L brackets? Also what size were they?

picked them up at my local Home Hardware, cost me 29 cents each they are 1 inch brackets

cool thanks. I kinda wanna get rid of my Antec 300 and get a 900 and put a 240 rad in the front like you did. Maybe I can trade my 300 to my dad for his 900 lol.

added more pics rad has now been mounted :O

Someone referred me to this thread. Nice! Pretty much what I ahd in mind for my build.

for your rad you could also get these

if you put those Brackets on the bvack of your rad you can mount your fans to the rad

hey quick question on your setup....
So your pulling in cold air from the front and pushing hot inside the case right?
And your using you top and rear as exhausts.

I was wondering if you would have better results.. reverse mounting the top fan pulling in air, the rear fan pulling air, and the side door fan pulling in air.. and the two fans on the rad pushing OUT the front.
What do you think? this way you would not have any hot air inside the case.

Nice work! I had the exact same setup in my 900 for a while. You're going to want to get some foam or something to fill in around the sides and top of the rad so that air has only one path, through the rad. Also, tape up the holes on the side of the drive cage so that no air gets out that way either. Doing these 2 things lowered my temps 5c in my setup. I was using a restrictive BIX2 tho, so you might not need it as badly as I did!

This isn't a good idea. The air inside your case is going to be warmer than outside, and you want to feed the rad the coldest air possible. The temp difference between the air from outside through the rad and into the case won't be severe enough to affect internal temps. Feeding air that has been warmed by everything inside your case can have a noticeable impact on temps in your loop.

The best setup for all temps in my 900 was with two fans blowing in through the rad, a low speed fan blowing in on the side panel, and a medium speed fan exhausting through the rear, and the top fan on high.

well i actually finished this project just forgot to update it, because the cable work is horrible due to the lack of space

will post pics soon and update this thread
