I have a nzxt full tower coming in within a week or so and in a future date I would like to get a xspc water cooling system in it. Now my only concern is will any 2x 120mm work in the case for the top mounting or should i stick with a smaller unit and do a single 120mm out the rear. I would eventually like to step up from just water cooling the cpu and go to the mobo, ram, and vga eventually without having to buy new units. Also if the xspc systems wouldnt work what system would

It does to an extent but he also used a corsair 100 and mounted it im looking for something thats a bit more of a put together. I do get the idea of mounting it up there with a L bracket thats something i wouldnt have thought of.

It's all good but the push pull set up is a weird thing to do since he had the 200mm as intakes and from what i gathered over his video the radiators fans going back up which to me defeats the purpose of cooling since yes itll get cold but you also have that heat keeping one side warm.

Im thinking a 360 radiator would fit nicely up on top myself as for mounting I will have to wait and see how the case looks to mount something properly like L brackets or maybe even full length brackets that snug it up tight. I still think a xspc raystorm might work in the case but I would like verification from someone that has put a water cooling system (without modding) in the phantom case particularly the base phantom not a 530 or any numbered base model.
