Hi guys, I wanted to ask you Overclockers what 2 radiators can be used for...I have a 240mm rad for my 380t with the h100i gtx, but what can another one be used for?

NZXT MANTA

Like a waterblock or something?

What do you guys think?

This is the case i am talking about.

Also, since I am here, can this case fit a Resevoir and do those systems need maintenance, are there ones that dont?

Thanks!!

the h100i is a closed loop cooler, meaning its not meant to be expanded or changed at all; hence "closed loop". closed loop systems do not require much maintenance other than cleaning the radiator from time to time. these systems can be expanded to use more radiators, but you would have to custom mod it and void your warranty, risk making a mistake, etc.

depending on what gpu you have, you could possibly add another closed loop cooler just to cool that. they sell brackets that allow you to attach say another h100i. here is a detailed explanation of the process

the third option would be to just get rid of the h100i completely and run a full custom loop. that case looks like it might be a little cramped for something like that, but it is definitely possible. custom loops do require maintenance other than cleaning the radiators (draining/refilling the loop twice a year at least), and they also have more points of possible failure, making them more prone to failure but easier to repair in the event. custom cooling is more of a niche area now, since nothing should really REQUIRE that much cooling unless you had a monster quad-gpu setup or something.
