NZXT 440 Advice Please!

[smudger1767]

Hi all,

Just got a white NZXT 440 (Mid Tower).
Just trying to figuer out what size rad to use.
At the moment I,m just going to water cool the cpu, but will do the graphics later.
I likes the idea and design of XSPC Dual bay res but no good for the 440.
I'm looking at a 360mm rad in the front with Noctu NF-12 taken the place of the originals. Push air over rad and rear and top exaust.
I was interedted in one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261502495338?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
but weren't sure if it was too thick 360mm and 60mm

Is this over kill?
Would the new Corsair http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121299508216?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT be a better choice?

Allready have EK DDC 3.2 PWM X-RES 100 Pump & Reservoir Pump Top, getting the XSPC Raystorm cpu block.

All suggestions much appreciated.

If you haven't looked at my build log (in my sig), take a browse and see if anything in there amuses you. I'm running dual 360's and a large res in mine.

Tweakin has a great and detailed build log, and separates the H440 case into many parts with excellent size comparisons for rad's, if I remember. Definitely worth your time. You can also have a look at my Reaper build, it is not as detailed, but you may get a few ideas from it. Good luck man!
