Hi, this is just a simple worklog by myself to share with u guys.
Many people recommending this casing, Corsair Carbide 400R in the hardware Q&A section. I got poisoned by them also. At first i was considering between CM 692 Adv and Corsair 400R, some of them said that CM 692 is better for WC but i said i won't be going WC in the short future. At last still got poisoned and upgraded to custom WC in few months, sometimes u just can't resist. I'm in love with this casing, so try to do some research around to see how others install custom WC in 400R. This casing is very awesome for air cooling but there are some limitation for WC.

The tricky part is here. Most mid tower can't fit a radiator at top because there is some clearance issue. The radiator + normal thickness fan will block the RAM slot and the 8 pin connector.
So what i did here is move the radiator slightly near to the side panel.

Finished look











Sorry for those images, some are blur some are clear. Have to borrow digital camera from gf to take clearer pic lol, otherwise use handphone so quality not so good. And this is my first ever experience playing with water cooling, i knew my setup still can adjust better as all the sifu suggested. I will readjust rad position make the tube shorter after i got the UV blue coolant. In the future i will make more upgrade, now really no more budget. Graduating in 3 more months hope that still can get some time to play with it. Thanks for everyone who helping me out in this!

same case as mine.....good job bro...

Simple and clean build.
Thumbs up .
Will stay tune for the update on coolant.

A stupid question if you don't mind .
Can the car engine coolant to be used for water-cooling setup?

teck liang budak jahat ponteng kelas play wc
nak kena jentik ni

Great job there. But , i wonder why didn't you make that Radiator Inlet / Outlet closer to your reservoir. With a shorter tubing , i think it will look even better.? Just my 2 cents. Anyway , nice and clean look. XD

fuyohhh wc already. good job there.

thanks bro

lol not sure about that. but as long as distilled water then should be alright

LOL i ponteng to buat worklog only ma haha

yea a lot of them suggest me about this also. will change the direction after i get the coolant thanks man!
