    New to watercooling!

    What's up guys, my friend led me to this site and I really like it! I just ordered the Rasa RS240 kit because I didn't think a RX240 would fit in my case (Corsair 600t). Now im having second thoughts about it, and it might not fit either. Right now I have a H100 at the top which is an extremely thin rad, which fits fine but I can't do push/pull. Ive tried to measure and am getting different results every time and it's not working out very well. Any insight would be great, and i've heard that the EX240 is thinner so I could try that if the rs won't fit? Also I'm planning on getting a new case and expanding my loop later on because my current GPU's dont have waterblocks for them.

    Thanks!!

    Are you sure that only thin rads fits in 600T? I'd check worklogs by others in that case to see available alternatives.

    Isn't there a rear 120mm fan you can tack an additional 1 x 120 rad to for the extra oomph?

    Yeah, I probably could. I just found a used 800d on a different site for $190 shipped. I think i'm going to get it. If I do.. should I trade the RS240 for a RX because I have heard the RX has much better performance. Or I could get a 360 rad.. pretty sure those fit in the 800d?

    If that RS240 radiator is the one I think it is, you shouldn't need to do push\pull. With 8FPI, one or the other should be fine.

    alright well the rad doesn't fit because of the 8 pin power connector. I could probably mod it somehow but im not sure if I want to. Still debating on whether on getting an 800d or not..
