Hey guys, yesterday I went through the long process of finding a liquid cooling kit. I ordered it and received it today with overnight shipping (kit was 100$ cheaper NIB through ebay seller). It seems that my dual rad will barely fit inside, making everything cramped and restricting water flow maybe? I have it mounted inside, with a little modding.
My question: Should I mount this bad boy on the top of my case externally, since it has two water cooled holes pre drilled? I looked at all the ways this can be set up, and that is one of them.
Not my pic or kit but a great example of how this looks inside the case (mine is about 1.5" longer).
And this is it externally mounted..
This is a pic of someone elses set up (notice, I have dual 120mm not three). Does my kit come with brackets like that to hold it up in the air? Will I even have to result to this kind of setup?
