Solution n0ns3ns3 Mar 6, 2017 make sure you've measured all three dimensions. Also, radiator needs fans attached. otherwise it will not work well.

You will have to be creative (probably involves some modding) to mount 240 rad in front. If I were to take out the center-piece that holds the front fans and replace that with a radiator, do you think that would fit? Upvote 0 Downvote

Measured all three dimensions, while the fans were in there, and it seems like the slim EK radiator I was going to get is going to fit. Upvote 0 Downvote

If you are about to build a custom loop, I'd recommend to look at XFlow rads like: https://www.alphacool.com/shop/radiators/active-radiators/20473/alphacool-nexxxos-st30-full-copper-x-flow-240mm-radiator?c=20545 or http://hardwarelabs.com/nemesis/gtsxflow/240gts-xflow/ Upvote 0 Downvote
