Hi, I'm going to change my TC PA 120.3 in the bottom of TJ-07 for something bigger and better. What do you recommend ? 3x140 or 4x120 ? Is there a 4x140 rad what will fit ? Please help ;)
I think about:
Thermochill PA 120.4
Black Ice GT Xtreme 480
TFC Xchanger 480

can't you fit a 120x4 and a 120x3 in the bottom and still keep your PSU? Wouldn't that be the better bet? Or would it need to be a skinnier rad like an MCR or a blackice stealth?

Two loops - this is the best solution of cooling your hardware. One radiator can't work on this sig.

Hammond boxes for height and industrial strength Velcro :)

I'm going to install one 4x120 rad in bottom and one 2x120 in the front of the case. Problem is, I don't what producer (Thermochill, Feser, HWLabs). I have NoiseBlocker Multiframe MF12-S2 fans and runs them at ~600rpm
I will mount bottom rad in THIS (http://highflow.nl/radiatoren/radiator-toebehoren/radiator-stand-480-black.html) and front rad in THIS (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=230968)
did charles used velcro to mount his rads?
are you sure? i only noticed the hammond box
anyways, for mounting, i used plexi@acrylic and made it into a mounting plate
the only holes i drilled was to mount the rad to the plexi
as for mounting of the plexi to the case, simply reuse the original hdd screw mountings :thumbs:
Just add a PA120.2:

Zeus, it's not an option. I'm going to place there the SSD. Besides, there is a planty of PSU cables

Hey GIZIU, you can place your SSD here: http://www.abload.de/img/tj07-11.1v7tz.jpg (http://www.abload.de/image.php?img=tj07-11.1v7tz.jpg) (picture is not mine, posted only for reference purposes) And as for the cables, I have the same PSU as you do and I can say that its cables, if tidied up well, will not be an obstacle for putting a 3 X 120 or even 4 X 120 & 2 X 120 rads in the bottom ;)
BTW, how's your GTX295? How much improvement over 280? I'm aksing 'cause I'm considering getting a single-PCB EVGA GTX295 to replace my GTX285 :rolleyes:
