"I stand by my earlier remarks regarding the 140mm market, the fan size needs increased adoption by case designers and manufacturers in order for more fans to be available and increase the availability of 140mm radiators. We'll just have to wait and see if 140mm is what lures us all away from our beloved 120mm radiators and fans. But if cases don't start making the move, the modding community will only be able to keep the 140mm market alive for a limited time."

once again.. why would you need a 140mm rad?

Cuz the capacity is there does not mean it will merit anything.
And the hassle of having an oversized radiator is more of a PIFTA then anything.

I have 2 feser 480's i have yet to use because they are just too big.

Monster radiators days died out last year... to have a monster radiator now, you'd probably be laughed at unless u implemented it successfully.

Its like this..

Do you really need a V8 when you can net near the same on a V6?
Do you really need that extra torque?
And are you willing to change your entire case design just to merit that extra torque?

It depends on your load to capacity ratio and how tolerant you are of noise.
140mm radiators will provide the same cooling capacity as a 120mm with lower noise. That's one advantage. Another is increased capacity when the fans are sped up.

If you mount them outside the box size becomes a non issue altogether.

no thats not an advantage ruby, because 140mm fan selections are VERY LIMITED.

You guys are all assuming there is the same brand / quality 140mm fan as there are 120mm.

140mm means ur dicked on the case, depending on the 140x (x)
And your dicked on fan selection.

So show me a 140mm high powered fan, or a 140mm GT.

Right now there such a limited selection of 140mm fans, that its not worth it.
Id rather go on a 120mm and grab a better fan, then a 140mm and the leftover.

Yellowbeard are you lurking this post?

Any info on a medium sized 600d?

The price difference between 140mm x3 ($146) and 120mmx3 ($114) isn't too bad.

a 140x3 would not even fit in my MM.
You expect it to fit inside a 800D?

You got length now in the equation.
I believe a 520mm+barb section just on the radiator length wise which is over 20inches.
Now you need to lengthen the case and widen it... you see... its too much of a hassle.

Well if you want the truth if I were water cooling I would not use fans on the radiators at all.

Actually let me back up - I would not need radiators! Just a block. But we know this will never happen.

If I were in a typical environment and were allowed to w/c honestly I think I would a TE block with PID /enthalpy. This would keep the cpu as cool as possible without risks of unchecked temps (and condensation) and allow far greater capacity than a simple loop on its own. It can get fairly complicated. The controls (I believe) are fairly straightforward, however.

Apparently MM is coming out with a case to handle 140mm radiator spacing.

Let me see if I can find the thread @ XS where this was discussed.

I didn't realize fan tech had come so far.

Products like Scythe Gentle Typhoon are what make the difference right?

correct.

This was martin's and my final assessment.

Your radiators are only as good as the fans you put on them.

This 800D case would also be ideal for scheduled maintenance on an impingement/accelerator type CPU waterblock right?

(According to the beginner's sticky this component of a watercooling system needs to be checked every 6-8 months to reduce the chance of pump failure)
