I have a few questions. I have a Thermaltake Chaser MK-I case and I am looking into water cooling. The case only has availability for a 240 rad. I want to cool my cpu and my video cards. I have the AMD 8350 and two MSI Twin Frozr 7870's. Can I safely cool and overclock them on a 240 rad? Or should I add an external 120 or 240 on the back of the case? And can I run both of the radiators in the same loop? The 8350 is currently overclocked to 4.65 on a Thermaltake water 2.0 pro. The 7870's are at 1100mhz core and 1300 memory. The 8350 gets to about 66 core during a stress test (intelburn, prim 95) before I terminate the test. The 7870s are hitting close to 80c at full load. May be upgrading the 7870s later (R9280 or better when the 8***? hit). I have seen videos of people cooling with this case and having a 360 rad mounted on the top with the cover removed and a 240 on the back. I think the 360 on the top looks tacky as it overhangs. I have also seen a 240 mounted inside the case at the drive bays to cool the GPU's. But wouldn't that add even more heat load? I am new to water cooling and would like to get as much information as I can. I am also going to mod the side panel of the case and will be putting in a full acrylic side panel window with two to three 120mm fans. Have not decided but they may be mounted vertically.

ok you should be good just locked up the clearence if hte ofset is not enough you still can fit a 40mm radiator which should be enough but a 60mm would be ideal if the ofset is enough
