Tyrsonswood · Dec 19, 2011, 02:44 PM

Like?

Need some direction in order to give you some ideas.

sahara_mafia · Dec 19, 2011, 05:18 PM

yess in a way

cause the my dad toys with the plan made

I think what Tyrsonwood meant is that we need to know what you're trying to achieve, or what problem exactly you require help with.

o

the plan was to shift the psu from the top to the bottom of case to create space for the rad for w/c and making the case a bit bigger height and width

Tyrsonswood · Dec 19, 2011, 06:54 PM

It would be easier to build a box that's attached to the bottom of the existing case to house the PSU than to actually "move" the PSU within the case..... this would give you the room up top for what ever you wanted to do as well.

I'm a little concerned about the tubing size in that radiator being so small, you won't have very good circulation without a high pressure pump.... high pressure leads to possible leaks. Are you tied to that particular rad, other than it's the one you have?

blibbax · Dec 19, 2011, 07:04 PM

It looks like there might be room for a PSU on its side next to the expansion slots, without making the case any bigger.

mcdragon2 · Dec 19, 2011, 10:17 PM

so you want the case to be bigger?

as for the radiator it might make sense to run 2 loops through it instead of 1 long loop. so you would cut the middle turn loop to allow for an additional input and output. this should allow you to still use a low pressure pump and have good flow

the rad was of a indoor split unit that dad scraped it so i dismantled the coil and had to change it a bit for a proper flow
i was looking at the H70 when doing the rad

i understand the part of a loop but cutting it in the middle i am kinda lost

what i meant about the middle was to cut the middle loop or the one that i circled in black in the above picture
