Yeah, i need do some testing... Also at the same time, gonna break my led and put the 1st strip at the back, to make a spotlight for my mobo... My mobo area so dark..

Just did an impromptu measurement. Its around 80-82m.. Need to test with my monsta rad...

 

[royfrosty]

Nice start. Jy ba. lol

Still thinking how should i start.

Fit what ever you going to fit on the mobo then measure especially if you're using tall RAMs.

Did some shifting today. Shifted my HDD cage to the left. But it is blocking all of my sleeved cables... Need to figure out where else can i put my hdd and ssd, or bo bian must put at 5.25" bay le and get 2x sata power extension cables.

I fitted my Monsta at the front. There is a clearance of 150mm to play with. The fans are at the front so it isnt included. As i am going for p/p for front, total thickness within the case should be 85+25=110mm..

Also, there are 2 areas in which you can mount 120mm fans. First is flushed right to the top and second is somewhere in the middle. However, for the first option, the rad cannot fit in at all. So the second option is used.

Rad touching the 5.25" bay

Screws on first option not aligned to the rad's mounting holes.

Thus, the second mounting positions for 120mm are used.

Also, as the rad is at the 2nd option, the clearance from bottom port to base of 750d is around 24mm. Not enough for 90 degrees adaptor.

However, the top is a problem. The 8 pin cable and MOSFET heatsink is blocking it, more so on the 8 pin cable. I believe the position is really bad. I only got 80mm to play with and the rad is already at 85mm, which would be the same as UT80 + 25mm thick fan.

With this, i decided to change to XT45. Total thickness should be at 70mm.

Also, for the fill port, i relocated it at the top, using the side ports and combining it with a 90 degrees rotary G1/4 to 3/8, 5/8.

I redrew my setup and it is as such,

Not sure if i should just get the x3 250 tube only or sell the whole set and get the x250 set.

My drain port will be at the outlet from pump top, coupled with a T-joint.

 

[shadow84]

Or maybe i can put a T-joint at the 240 rad, 1 for output and 1 for mini drain valve...

My Primoo has some space at the EPS connector side but I don't know about your caselab.

Technically for my case I can extend until cover the mobo provided I don't have tall stuff on the mobo. You can test fit 1st la. no need to kan chiong change rad..

Erm, mine is 750D? For my mobo, the 8-pin is quite high. Around 70mm is very close to it le... Cant compare yours and mine since yours should have more clearance than mine...

Mine is deeper inside... maybe if I change to 140mm rad I may run into the same problem as you also

Its about the thickness, not the width... U go take measuring tape, from ceiling to your mobo length, what is the distance? Mine from ceiling to 8-pin alrdy at 80mm.

 

[allhomme]

Mine about the same la. 35mm rad + 25mm fan. maybe add another 15mm for the empty space.

Dats why UT60 cant fit... Only XT45 can nia... 45mm + 25mm = 70mm. Should be within tolorence. I checked with measuring tape, the 8 pin cable only kena pressed down a bit. Once i do some cable sewing, it should be more rigid and tighter and smaller.

Done my shopping for round 1...

Roy's items are Ut60 480mm, Alphacool pump and pump top.

 

[shadow84]

Some benchmarks...

Forgotten to upload them...

On stock clocks..

OC to 1077,1250..

OC to 1077,1300... I believe the lower score was due to thermal throttling as the process wasnt smooth as compared to the 1st OC.

 

[shadow84]

Updated my purchase as well...

Following the advices, this is what i would be purchasing from AQC... Shouldnt be a problem until the fittings...

Any comments? 2x backplates are for Roy. 3x decoupling are for top fans to reduce the noise, unless not needed.

I would be using the enermax cluster advanced 120mm fan. As for the rear fan, i would see whether can fit in or not with the top rad fitting, to keep the air moving.
