Whats the best case for water cooling?

[Jonthefuzz]

I'm wondering witch case has the best mounting for water cooling eg most amount of usable radiator space.

[🦊Λℚ𝓤ΛƑΛᗯҜᔕ🦊]

Raijintek ENYO. I've personally had 7 radiators in it and others have reported being able to fit 9 radiators in it. And it supports two loops. One for GPU one for CPU.

Thanks ill try it later.

I use the Corsair 1000D for water-cooling in this game, it can only fit two 360mm radiators in the front, and one 240mm radiator in the back apparently. No radiators can be in the top, however Corsair 140mm fan be in the top. In reality it can fit two 480mm radiators in the front, two 420mm in the top, and a 240mm radiator in the back, along with two 300mm reservoirs mounted to the front radiators.

Thermaltake View 91 can also fit alot of radiators too.

How did you connect 7 Radiators? i can only connect 3 depending on the Motherboard :(

The motherboard has nothing what so ever to do with the amount of radiators you connect in a custom loop. Only the water pump connects to the motherboard. The amount of radiators you can fit depends on the case / chassis.

But when i try maximize the amount of radiators in the Enyo, for example the two on the back won't work. The fans dont spin.

For Example, i place a 360mm radiator in the front, one in the top, one in the bottom, those three work, the fans spin. When i place radiators in the back of the case the fans won't spin, it shows a orange cable to connect but i cant connect them. Also the one in the bottom connects to the motherboard, the one in the front and the top connect to each other and the top one then connects to the motherboard.

That doesn't matter. They still count towards overall cooling capacity in PCBS. I've tested that myself. The fans not spinning is a visual thing.

But it also says: missing cables.

A build like this is just for maximum overclocking personally for fun. That doesn't matter. It's not a customer build. The OP in the top of this thread said nothing about customer builds or job builds or anything. They asked what is the best for water cooling, I answered it.

Ok I'll try that. Thanks

Another question, is the CFM rating the only thing for cooling? i mean if i place 4x 140mm radiators in the case instead of 2x360mm? 4x140mm=380CFM, 2x360mm=320CFM

It doesn't have to be "perfect" or "complete" in PCBS for the computer to run. You can totally run computers in free build misssing wires, the cover off, anything. I even had a computer running with no heatsink with a celeron for a while once as an experiment.

Yes. Right now in PCBS, CFM is the only thing that is factored in to cooling performance. The CFM of the fan, or the CFM of the radiator. And yes as you figured out, you get higher cooling performance with as many multiple small radiators as you can fit in the system, instead of large single ones. Remember also: In the Enyo case you can create two custom water loops. One for CPU one for video cards so when you overclock the video cards it doesn't add heat to the CPU.
