Best radiator that can fit in a case

[cheece2001]

whats the best radiator than can fit in a mid tower case. In my case its the thermatake xaser 3 case. Can the dual heatercore fit in my case and where would u poeple sugest the placement of it. I don't know whats the best. I sorta don't want stuff dangling around my computer with no suport.
Sugestions of mods can also help me.

Try the JR-120 but you will have to remove both HD Bays. The bays are riveted in so take a drill and drill through them. Removing the HD bays may also result in Case instability causing it to sway side to side lol

[cheece2001]

so both bays need to be removed????
i like need at least 1

Look at the thermochill 120.2... might fit near the top.

[cheece2001]

has any1 stuck a dual heater core up in top cause it really looks limited to space.



i don't think there is space up there. Don't look at those cables, so messy .

i will get them sorted put

i just installed a black ice on top of my xaser 3 over the top fan through y removed the top fan and drilled a hole with a dremel to fit the radiator

[cheece2001]

do you have a pic

Just get a dual heatercore and stick it on top. Youll need the fans on top of the heatercore outside ofhte case for optimum flow. Youll also need a shroud.

I suggest cleaning up some of those wires, it might help case flow a bit.

From the looks of it, you dont have a drive in the top drive bay slot which is good.. It will allow you to position the rad further forward in that area to give it better airflwo. Sadly th ough you will have to remove your top panel IO gear.

blackice pro 2 what also be perfekt. coold name also some other raditor, but i don't think they are avaible in canada. blackice shout be avaible.

cheece, send a pm to "weapon" he can hook you up with a kick ass hetercore, shrouds and top of the line fans for cheap. He makes the shrouds himself, and custom modifys the heatercores.

[echow87]

dual heatercore with 2 120mm fan and shroud is the best way to go but the shroud and fan will be outside the case, unless u can sacrifice two to three drive bays.

[MaxxxRacer]

you would need to sacrafice your psu if you wanted to put it inside.. lol.. so that is a no go.

The bays are not rivited, I have the same case, it has one or two screws securing each bay. You could fit one easily after removing the bottom bay, then another at the top of the system after removing the bracket for the connections

[MaxxxRacer]

well we are going for a dual heatercore, not two small heatercores..

[LFATB]

If you remove the rear fans, you should be able to fit a heatercore the size of a 120mm black ice, with a mod of course

[MaxxxRacer]

lfatb, he is looking for a DUAL 120mm heatercore or rad. That was the pont of this.. fitting a single one isnt that hard. there are lots of places to put that. just the dual rads and heatercores are much harder to fit.. hence the thread.

[fareastgq]

How about lower front? my next rig ( in a couple weeks here) is a full tower dragon case, so it's a bit taller on top, that'll be where my rad is going, I beleive you can fit a dual core in there but I guess it depends on if your willing to sacrifice those 3.5 bays. If your not, I would go with what Maxracer said.

edit : I just read my own post, it didn't read good, so.. I meant that my rad was going in the lower front and I was going make a custom bracket for my HD's in the space where the tower was taller or just put them in the 5.25 bays.

[echow87]

yea, you can place the rad there, seen a lot of ppl do that, might plan on doing it myself
