I have the Bitfenix Ghost, and I have my GPU and CPU water-cooled in a single loop. I have a slim 240mm rad on top and a slim 120mm rad at the back. I find that my temperatures are hovering around what air cooled temperatures would be, and I realized that I forgot to take into account the fact that my video card (AMD 7990) actually has 2 GPUs. So now I want to add another radiator (240 or 120, leaning towards 240), but my case has no more space left! I was wondering what I could do, would i have to jury rigg it somehow? Is there any way to safely mount another radiator externally? all help is appreciated, thank you!

I've got some pics here (sorry for G+) : https://plus.google.com/u/0/102314301297321359492/posts/MtTrCKRShTB

well looking at your water block on the back I would say you currently have another option you may not of considered getting a fan controller and adding another pair of cooling fans to the mix the one you have mounted to the back you have it pushing air out of the case but you could have a push pull configuration. where as instead of mounting the actual radiator to the case you add another 120mm fan in push pull configuration. you can also do it with the 240 mm radiator try going to your local hardware store and picking up some screws and a few rubber washers for mounting to the case it will cut down on the vibration noise. so id say get a total of 3 more fans and a fan controller and add those to the mix the quieter the better but...

Okay, I'm not sure I completely understand the idea of a push-pull configuration. I thought I had a push pull configuration on my 240 rad, where one fan is pushing out of the case and one fan is pulling in? Or is it where yo have a fan on either side of a radiator and they're both helping to push the air in a certain direction? Does that actually help with temperatures that much?

But would I even be able to add another water block to my loop? I don't even have anything left to put it on.
