Hi guys, i had bought a RX360 for my water loop to cool my CPU and after playing with it for a few hrs, i can't find a place to fit the 120.3 radiator on/inside/back of the Thermaltake Xaser VI case, so i have an oportunity to get a RX240 radiator, just curious will decreasing the size of my radiator affect any OC results on the E5200 cup? will i notice a big difference in the temperatures?going from a triple radiator to dual? my setup includes a DDC 3.2 w/ EK 400mm. this is going to be strictly CPU loop only.

i would love to keep the RX360, is some one has any experience with Xaser Vi case and a triple radiator setup?
 
for that chip i don't see an issue going with the RX240. it puts out little heat so go for it.
 
i even bought a "redBox" kit to see if that helps, but not really, if i do that, then there is no way for me to hook up my fans, the wires are too short. thinking about putting the fans on a fan controller, but i don't even know how the wires would reach all the way at the front bay, if they can't even reach the Motherboard.
 
Do you have a soldering iron? You can always go buy yourself a very cheap ($5) soldering iron an a small roll of electrical grade solder, some 18-20 gauge wire and some heat shrink tubing and make your own custom length wires for the fans. You can also ite the 3 fans together into just single lead to feed into the case and put a molex connector on it to simplify and neaten up the wiring.
