Triple Radiator in CMStacker 830

[leoftw]

Can this be done without modding the case . I want to keep a dvd drive and one harddrive in there . I seen you can mount on of the hd's on top but I have no place to mount the dvd drive. Im not sure if it could fit at the bottom and I've looked around here for about 1hr and I cant find someone that has done it without cutting their case . A big thanks if someone could give me some options. Can it fit on the bottom with the motherboard installed ?

you can.. or you should be able to... depends on the thickness of the radiator...
but i'm concerned... 3 fans whereas the bottom has grid that can be your air supply or exhaust for 2 fans...

where will the air for the 3rd rad going to go or pull supply from?

you can check out some of the builds referenced in my stacker 832 build and see that even with a PA120.3, you can fit a MB there with no issues... but again... the only major issue will be air supply or vent...

it's not too bad creating a bigger hole at bottom of case... why not get a jig saw and get cutting?

Well with an ambitious goal like that you will have to do some modding to the case. If your dedicated to getting 3 loops going then you'll just have to get everything together and see what you can do. Maybe you can find a way that no one else has thought of. But I'm afraid you'll have to do some cutting no matter what. Its a big case with allot of room but that doesn't mean the room is where you need it. You may be able to get a single fan rad in the rear 120mm fan slot and then have another rad on the outside of that spot. But you'll have to punch holes in the back for your tubing.

lol... leo, dude, the stacker is big... but it's gonna get mighty small when you start putting stuff into it.

how many loops? 3 loops? i'm trying to do 2 loops... well, 3 loops where the other 2 is a 120.1 maybe... but in any case...plan it out well...
