First time liquid cooling

[MrBlindman99]

im making my first water cooling loop and i wanted to see if my loop is compatible with my case. im going to use a coolermaster haf x full tower and i dont quite know what types of rads i can put in it. i was planning a 240mm rad for top and cpu, and a 240mm rad for my gpu's. i just want to know if 2 of these (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0067LW8RY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_6?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A28CFGAEH1L7HN) fits in one of these (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003S68Q0Y/ref=ox_sc_act_title_10?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1XBPHGHAXLHDG)

Thank you

I have the same case and also do water cooling. The hardest thing to do is get radiators inside a case, the HAF-X is a full tower with lots of room and you can get one of those radiators up top. The thing is the second one, there is some space in the front where the 230mm fan is and if you take that out and do some customization work in the front you may fit one in there but you have to account for the fans as well. Standing it up against the hard drive rack is another place that you can use unless you have multiple video cards then they may get in the way.

In my case I have one inside and another larger one outside in my desk underneath the tower.

i was thinking that if i couldnt fit one or both in the case id just mount them out the back. but it would be great if i could get both in. currently i have no tools, so i dont want to do any case mods. so if i could only fit one i would put the other out the back and stand it away from the case. lol it would look a little weird but hey, it would probly work. also, do you know any full waterblocks that would fit a gtx 760?

The HAF-X has several water tube holes at the rear top of the case that allows you to run tubing to a radiator outside the case. You can also place a radiator on the top of the case outside and have the fans on top pulling the air. Also like I said one of mine is on a shelf underneath the desktop and the tubing is run to it from the rear of the case. There are always solutions some may take longer than other to think them up.
My HAF-X case no longer resembles a stock HAF-X with the modifications that I have done.

You can test out this idea by measuring your radiators and fans. Make a sandwich by putting fans in between the two radiators and then adding fans to either the top or bottom of the sandwich and see if it will fit inside.

As far as the water block for the 760 I don't see one out yet but I think that there will be soon. I looked at the other video card lines and the water blocks went down to the 560 , 660 models so that would man that the 760 will get one also.
This site is the manufacturer that will most likely make one.

Then these two site will most likely carry that block.

The problem is that if you want to keep your radiators inside a case you have to use the existing fan mounts in your case. (example if you have mounts for two 120mm fans than you can put a radiator that is up to 240mm there.) If you want to avoid doing case mods than your simplest bet is to to use the existing fan spaces on your case I would go with a 140mm black ice gtx gen two http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=59_457_458&products_id=25383 and the only comany that makes 200mm radiators that I can think of is Phoyba http://www.frozencpu.com/products/12103/ex-rad-186/Phobya_Xtreme_200mm_Radiator_-_Version_2_-_Full_Copper.html?tl=g30c95s1344 With high performance fans these two should be more than enough to cool two video cards and a cpu.
