i am not sure but you will have to do some major modding to 8 fans the max u can get is 6 without major modding
you will lose 1st bay
but you possibly could be able to fit it as long as it isnt to fat of a rad
I am not looking to do a push-pull config, just want to mount a 480 rad in the top of my cosmos s 1100..and from the pic its been done! :up:Quote:

Thank in advance.
Can you post some better pics of how you mounted that quad rad inside the Cosmos? It sounds like only half of the radiator is getting air from outside the case. The other half of the rad is using recirculated air from inside the case, I guess.Quote:

So you can fit it, but you will utilize the maximum efficiency of your quad radiator.
If you have the case I would measure the area under the fan grill/guard on top and plan accordingly.
You might have sufficient face for 420 (3x140) rad, which should net the same performance as a quad 480 assuming you can match airflow.
That's my plan:

It's time to clean my wc system, so i want to change something. So, i'll ask again - is it worth to use quad raditor like upper scheme or stick with 3x120?
