radiator question

ATC9001 · 12-13-2001, 05:40 PM

Hi, i'm new to water cooling and I want to give it a try. The only way I will do the water cooling is if everything will fit inside my case. I currently have a tornado 1000 case. My question is can I put a radiator inside the case and rely on my case fans to exaust enough heat. And if I do do this should I reverse my two 80's on the side of my case to exaust...so I would have all my fans exept the one in the front exausting? Input graciously accepted.

Well you definitely can fit it all in that case, but ideally the standard case flow will not be enough. I'll see if I can make suggestions, but first... are you willing to cut your case at all?

Well I've cut it before...to put a window in. I'm not afraid too as long as it won't make it look bad. my case is here:My page
Also the radiator I plan to get is:
Radaitor the third one down called the cooling cube. I would use a 382 GPH rio pump.

You can AIM me at iceman9001 and talk that way. I would prefer that because this way I can clerify everything before I order...If I don't answer my AIM right away it's because i'm afk...not because I don't like you!
