This rig really needs the apogee intergrated mcp35x block
the space is tight for water cooling but could be doable if you remove the hardisk tray and just use ssd
got my chassis yesterday

Looks like you can fit one rx240 push pull and one 200mm rad in the front. MOunt it with a 230mm fan push pull bitfenix spectre pro would be the best for this chassis.

ya u are right, i already sacrifice all the hdd cage and also the odd bay. i will stick with my 240mm and 120mm rad for now, i'm not too sure about the performance of the 200mm , gonna look at more user review/feedback, if it's better than my current 120mm rad then i may change biggrin.gif

its much better because like all rads, the more fins you have and surface area the better the rad becomes. a 200mm is about 277% more space than 120mm. Just count the area

plus if you get the bitfenix spectre pro fans the cfm is 156 cfm and high static pressure. I have the fan its really good, lower noise than a GT fan but moves 3 times the air. Have the gt to compare too. If you use push pull should be ample for GPU and CPU cooling with 2 rads

nice info there...try pm cyntrix for 200mm rad..
*
cyntrix sells the rad rm280
fans thats is a semi problem

they don't seem to carry the spectre pro here i think

i bought it in singapore
its rm75 bought 4 pieces of the red led version for a project which did not materalize

if you are using the cooler master fans its a far cry from what the spectre pro can do.

currently using 1 piece as for "kipas angin" on my table much better than GT in this area

should be fine
the top rad is further away and 2 pieces of 120mm is longer than the 230mm fan

if 2 pieces of 120mm can pass 230mm sure not an issue.
i think might be going down that road with my prodigy too

1 rx 240 and one 200mm rad
or maybe try the ex240 also would be nice. have 4 pieces of gt fan spare which suits the ex240mm better

now making order for the rad, no ready stock, only bulk order. so now i will stick to my current setup first, hehe

dont know whether can fit a 140mm rad too
looks tight


but if you fit 240 and 200mm rad more than enough actually
just did a quick check the 200m rad has almost the surface area of 360 rads. 360 rad is 43200mm2 while 200m rad is 40000mm2

actually have the 200mm is great for small chassis

the fans were out since last year

this thermaltake toughpower 80+ gold is highly recommend for itx setup, reason

1. 650w is more than enough to run a single graphic card even it's the beast, gtx690

2. the price is insanely cheap for a 80+ gold psu, rm36x

3. it has 5 years warranty tongue.gif

The rig really no space at all for the psu. Looks reall tight

using a non modular psu for this casing is a better choice coz for modular psu, the cable connectors will consume more space before the cable can bend

what casing u recommend for water cool? at least can fit in 1x240mm rad and a 120mm rad ??
*
DId you buy the prodigy casing?

for 240mm rx most of the bigger full ATX casing like haf932, of the advance612
but for 120mm that one almost for sure you need to use full atx like the 932, hafx corsair 800d. 120mm is only sutiable for casing with wide bodies

the haf912,922 even the cm612 cant pakai will block alot of things and will block the top rad

can always buy the tj07

oh ya, i mentioned that on the hardware q&a, and yes they are compression fittings and 45' adapter

Yes you an use comp fittings or barb fitting with hose clamps. Both will be the same. Hose clamp cheaper but does not look so good. Hose clamp is more secure too
