HAF 932 case with my future WC setup

Well i been thinking and i think this setup might work well.. Do you think the fans are setup in an effecient way to bring in cool air and keep things cool as well as keeping the rads cool.. Here is a setup im thinking of doing like this..

The top radiator mount you have is quite nice, and the easiest to set up. When i saw your second radiator though, i thought this: What are you gonna do when you take the sidedoor off? This would be very hard to mount and connect with hoses without taking the side panel off. You could use quick connections

Another tip: You can mount your radiator on the bottom part, where there is made out holes for a fan (or a radiator). You can just cut a bit out of your harddrive cage, and install that sucka. Hope this helped!

Well that is possible, but you'd have to make cuts in your dvd-rom bays there (if you are mounting it vertically). If you are laying it down right infront of the 230mm, that'd be a very nice position

Yea i want to set it up so the loops arent to far apart and i can get some nice cool fresh air on it as well from multiple angles.. Im going to modify the case inside since i dont use any of the drives below and ill see how tall it may sit if not then i will lay it down the bottom and have the cool air blow right across it

I need to take a few pics of my rig so you can see what kind of room I have in there. I have the dual bay res, triple rad on the top, single on the bottom and rear all mounted internally. I could do a 240 on the side as stated above but I would get some tight clearances for a delta T that I don't need to achieve.




Thats the only picture I have thats anywhere near decent, my triple rad above is in a push/pull config and is at the very top of the picture. There was just enough room to place a single rad after my psu on the bottom and have everything mount to the factory mounting 120mm holes. Its not too shabby for my first build.

Ya man thats not bad, but with you running the triple rad at top did it interfere with the dual bay res? Cuz i only have 3 slots left for my 5.25 bays and i think the triple rad might get in the way, the rads i am using are the Feser X-Changer Dual 240mm Extreme Performance Radiator and of course the same rad but triple and these are pretty thick rads lol

Here is tha layout that i can show you and remember that 240mm fan isnt as fast as the 120 mm fans but it does pull in some nice cool air at a decent pace, the top rad will cool my PCU and the 2nd rad will cool my graphics card and eventually my NB and SB part of the board..Here is the pic

You cannot fit a dual bay res up that high, it will interfere I have the top 3 spots of mine empty. I could go up one higher but I didn't want to risk kinking my tubing.

you can get a problem with mounting the 2nd rad to the hdd cage. If its a thick rad you might get a problem with long gpu cards that cant fit anymore. if you dont mind modifing your case. you can put a rad where the front 200 mm fan is. This can be done with not much modding

I still think you're mistaking the actual size you have inside that case to put some of your components.
