How many Rad's can you fit in a Xigmatek Elysium?

[Mr. Smiley]

hey, I'm just planning for my upgrade around xmas time and would like to know how many Radiators i could fit in a Xigmatek Elysium? My plan was to leave the PSU on the bottem and fit a 140.3 up top, a 140.2 down on the bottem and then a 120.2 on the front. does anyone know if this would be possible? and i should mention i would run this in a dual loop

Yes it should. The top isn't a problem. On the bottom you'll have to make sure your PSU length won't interfere. As for the front, you could probably mod it to accommodate a 360 rad. That said what components will you be planning on putting? A triple 140mm radiator should do just fine for most setups. 3 rads is really EXTREME.

ok, thanks haha, and yeah.. ik its a bit extreme.. but! if i have the money then i plan on goiong a 6 core SB-E plus Triple 6970's all watercooled so im just trying to be over prepared. but thats for the help D i was gunna get the 800d but i think i might go that instead.. its cheaper, and has more room

And not extreme in a good way, but extreme in a throwing money away way.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

oh! well thats one thing i DON'T want to do >.< hmm. do u guys really think i could get buy with just 140.5 on triple 6970's and a SB-E (we could say this uses 200 watts of heat?) sorry if im not the best at this.. im just getting into the water cooling things.

It depends on the type of rads and the fans, but I'm inclined to say yes. Shouldn't be a problem unless you're using slim-profile rads or bad fans.

A 140.3 and a 140.2 or 120.2 should be enough for that setup. If you haven't bought the 6970's yet then you'll might want to wait for the 7970 if you know what i mean

 

[Mr. Smiley]

yeah, i havnt bought anything yet just trying to plan ahead to see what i need/want but thanks for all the help guys ^_^
