Hey guys,

I was wondering what cases would support the NZXT Kraken G10 liquid cooling bracket for GPU's, as I'm unsure of which cases will be able to fit the extra liquid cooler at the front bracket used for the GPU. I'd like the case to be under $80 USD.

Thanks!

A mid tower case would be your best option since the inside would allow for the radiator to be mounted in the front , top , rear or bottom of the case. The hoses appear to be long enough for all of those locations giving you plenty of options.
If you want to mount it in the front then the case would have to allow for the hard drive rack to be removed or some part of it.

A full tower case would limit your options simply because it is so big that the hoses would not reach to all locations.

Hi inzone,

I've currently got the cooler master k280, but I'm not sure if I can remove the storage bays since it's just one giant rectangle monstrosity and there are no top exhausts. Any input?

It looks like there is a vent opening at the bottom of the case and you could mount the radiator there. If you don't want to put it there then remove the rear fan and mount the radiator there.

Sometimes you have to improvise and since the hard drive rack is one piece and can't be removed you could attach the radiator to the rack by figuring a way to line up some screw holes or make some in the rack to attach the radiator.

For ease of convenience your best option is the rear fan since there are already screw holes there.

Hi Inzone,

Unfortunately my PSU is currently occupying the bottom vent, and my Radiator for my CPU water cooling is currently taking up the rear vent.

That leaves the top of improvising a way to attach it to the hard drive rack.
