were to put a dual rad on stacker ?

awhir

ok made a few plans just wondering what would be the best place were do yous who have cms put your rads.

g5hn710m4xpdwy

Yeah the side of it ;-) make the front of it into pullout drawers that house tools XD

awhir

wonder could a mount it onto my window

conzy

Or you could sacrafice a few of your drive bays.........

Dont worry, you will still have 50 or so left:D

awhir

was looking at that it would be abit tricky but would be well posibal.

i could by 2 hard drive bay holders thing and just pull the bottem of 1 and fit them together and then place the rad perfectly in that.

ps what case you using cozzy.

awhir

ok all done my modding lol i wish !!!!!!!!

conzy

LOL

I have been dreading this day............

I am using a bog standard, cheapo, atx case that I got from Marx computers:D

Its a disgrace to be honest, is falling apart, the front door is broken, and I have a front case fan glued to the case:D

I am thinking of getting a Coolermaster Praetorian:)

P.s If you are at Gamecon, You will see it:D

awhir

Omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cuddlesworth

At the bottom of your case is a perfect opening for a dual rad, just remove the existing mesh and install the wheels.

but would there not be a good air circulation then.god so many option in this case i can move the psu and put it onto or mod it to put into the front or onto the bottom or on the back or on side lol.

krazy were do you have yours.

Cuddlesworth

with the wheels there would be enough its a rad its does well with little airflow. I cut a hole in the top of my case and regretted it after.

awhir

ok tnx for all the help huys

CombatCow

Throw it in the bottom like mine, theres pleanty of room and there's a grill on the bottom for airflow

ok tnx oh and nice cow

awhir

oh and also need advice on some fans want quite 1s that also provide good airflow and not to exp

I just bought this from Flaccus for €90 and it has 2 nexus 120mm fans:)

I am no longer a disgrace:D

bah its a Lian Li you can do better then that.:D ONLY JOKING

conzy

He he, Its a lovely little case:)

gline

id say rad in drive bays, well hidden then, would be cool, no ugly rad and fans showing

awhir

would it be hard gline.would say you got experince.

well ive never done it, but i have 2 stackers and they are soo easy to work with because of the size, id sat it would be easy enough to be honest

you'd just need supports coming out from the sides of the drive rail then bolted into the rad enclosure.

would look sweet

personally i think the rad mounted on the bottom of the case is ugly... BUT it is the easiest option

po0k

Put an auxilliary 2nd 1x120mm rad in place of the 120mm fan on the rear panel.I'm kinda surprised someone hasn't released a 1-3 x 5.25" bay rad option (air being sucked in through front panel, fan is inside the case).

Is stacking 2 rads ontop of each other with one fan pulling air through them feasible?

thats what i did, very easy to do, but looks ugly also

The uglier the better:)

It should look mean:D

personally i dont care for looks in a pc, all my pcs look ****e, its all about overclocking with me (holes drilled here and there and pieces sawed etc), but most people here like a nice looking pc and im sure OP does

me haha you should see mine wires everwere lol.

and also what are good fans ??slinente with good air flow.

conzy

Well Nexus fans are supposed to be great......

I just got some in the Lian li and it should be here Tuesday, so I will let you know how quiet they are....

And its definitely whats on the inside that counts when it comes to PCs anyway:D

gline

i use papst, but im not sure if the air flow is up to scratch

awhir

will try nexus.

There are reasons why nobody uses 2 rads, it degrades performance.

does it? i never saw that info anywhere
i always use 2 rads in most my setups

Cuddlesworth

Cause's a pressure drop which degrades pump and flow performance.

if you have a decent pump it shouldnt make hardly any difference if any

awhir

are you talking about to sperate rad or a dual rad.

po0k

Two rads stacked on each other, one layer of fan(s) on top blowing/pulling air through.
I would've thought thatif they're the same rads, the fins would line up and you would'nt get (a drastic) pressure drop.

Thanks for answering my query Krazy-8.

awhir

do you mean it like that rad or two diffrent rads in a case in diffrent place ????

po0k

No.
Think sandwich.
1 240x120mm rad, stacked on another 240x120mm rad with a pair of fans blowing air through both of them. In the stacker, to put them on the bottom would probably mean losing any PCI slots you have and possibly the 2nd PCIe x16 slot.
They could be on the one loop, or two seperate loops - if ye all meant water pressure.
I use the term "chained" to describe 2 or more rads in one wc loop. Apologies for any confusion.

awhir

ok tnx m8.

i dont know tbh, never seen it in a pc store before, it usually comes bundled with stuff, like the thermaltake bigwater gives u a bit.
i dont know where you'd get a roll of it

Cuddlesworth

I'm not sure of the full reasons for the dual rad thing, but my rough understanding is that the pressure in the tube(small space) and the pressure in the rad(big space) are different. The pump has to force water from high to low to high againn and this can cause a strain when it has to do this twice. It affects flow which affects waterblock performance. I suppose if you are not working with a high flow system like me (which I might be selling soon) you may not care about flow rates. But if it degrades performance more than a second rad will give you then whats the point? Its amasing what you learn when you try to fix a houses heating system.

Also I have some velcro tape lying around my house, but its a third the size of that stuff.

just ordered a

DangerDen Maze4 Acetal Top StandardProfile GPU Block
Swiftech H20-220 Apex "Ultra" Watercooling Kit
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 4 7.1 EAX Sound Card
Acoustic Energy Aego M 2.1 Speakers

me so excited.

Hickey's.

Ask YORE.MA. tbh, it's fairly common.
