Radiator for these dimensions ?

[Soulkeeper]

10x6x2.5"
these are the largest dimensions i can fit inside my case
any recommendations ?

i noticed dangerden.com doesn't list their dimensions for the black ice series ....
guess you have to call them and stuff, which makes it not worth it

That 10'" restriction really limits you to what you can get. I don't even think there are any 2x120 radiators that are that short.

Sure you can't stretch that by just about 1 inch? Would let you get a nice 2x120 radiator like a swiftech mcr220.

If not, you're stuck with a 1x120 radiator.

http://www.petrastechshop.com lists dimensions and so does jab-tech.com.

Rather shop at those places than dangerden anyways.

thanks, i'll give it some more though
might have to do some more extensive modding should i go this route

254mm x 152.3 x 63mm

You just messured out the top of the CM690 no?

And that depth is the messurement you have from the top of your motherboard to the top of the case?

Ummm the length im guessing is the exhaust area? or is it the total length of the top of the case? The breathable area, the area that needs to breathe is only 240x120. The total length of this radiator however is:

277 so about 23mm longer, or roughly the thickness of a standard 120mm fan.

The length and width will match. The thickness is where you need to watch out:

GTS series is : 29.6mm(Thickness)
+ 25mm fan = overshoot by 1mm so

+ 20mm = 49.6mm thickness which will allow you to pull it off.

that's exactely what i'm looking for
the 277mm width is too wide by about 6-12mm tho
wonder if i could shave it down a bit
unfortunately the PSU is in the way
JUST ripped this out of a mini fridge so i might be considering other options here ...

Those are the worst possible radiators you can use. There great on compressors but terrible on water.

This is why radiators of today was phased out to thin tube channels instead of round ones.


Also you cant shave down the radiator.

They have 120mm versions of this radiator. You could double up on the 120, onne on top, one on the rear? and it would give you slightly worse performance then a single 120x2.

^LOL. I agree with aigo on this, and if you decide to go with two 120mm rads like he suggested, plan the shortest route possible for your tubing and that will help close the gap between the performance dis-advantage of having 2 120mm rads and 1 2x120mm rad.
