View Full Version : Internal Radiators

Ok, I know I am going to sound like the biggest noob ever, but with every case I've seen, the radiator is external (sticking out of the back of the case). I am wondering if there are multi-fan radiators that are pretty much internal, nothing on the outside of the case, preferably Danger Den. Thanks for coping with my stupid question.

Two setups with internal rads: Mine (http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=464349) and Synthetic Fenix (http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=463086).

Any radiator can be used internally, you just have to have a big enough case. Personally, I bolted mine to the top.

hmm, not really sure what you mean,
radiators are seperate componentas you buy and you can mount them preyyt much wherever you can ! none are designatied for internal / external use only !
iva had a WC system with internal, and my current one with is external
btw, you may want to get rid of the spaces in your sig ! its Waytoo big :|

you may have a tough time squeezing a radiator inside that case. Most people either stick them in the front of the case, or in the top of the case. Looking at the Aspire Xplorer, you probably won't be able to fit it in either place. Fitting a radiator internally is more dependent on the case rather than the radiator. I've always had my rads internal, but you'll have to sacrifice some (probably all) of your HDD bays.
Its actually quite common. Even in a small mid you can fit a dual 120 internally with a little planning. Here's my Antec Sonata as an example.

Looks like the swiftech res/MCP350 combo.

The Silverstone TJ07 works really well for internal rad's. It's got the perfect place in the bottom for a 3X120 rad or smaller. I'll take pics of mine when i get home.

As suggested, its a swiftech mcp350 res combo. I used to have a pump on the floor of the case but decided I didnt like the way it obstructed the pci slots. The 350/res combo is a great option for smaller cases IME.
