NZXT cooling help/advice
Hi I am looking into get the either the NZXT kraken x41 or the x61 to cool my CPU and my GPU at the same time as I have been trying to OC my gaming system more. I also will need to buy a new case (my case is not very good and will not fit the kraken) and I am looking at the Phantom 530 as it seems to have everything I want. Should I get 2 x41's and can I install a 41 in the top or do i need a x61 for the top? Also if you have a better recommendation for a case please let me know (I looked at the h440 as well but I do want an optical drive spot for my pc) I can not find any definite answers and I was hoping someone who knows more than me can help! :) 

Please let me know if you need more information.
Thank you in advance.

People may have had problems. I have not had any experience with this case or watercooler myself so it's only guesswork form my end as well but it just sounds like the sort of thing where you have to weigh up the risk and just consider what you could do if it was wrong. Maybe if you got 2 of the single fan coolers then you could just place them on the side of the case , or if you have a double maybe theres somewhere else that it might fit? Or perhaps you know you can get it from a local shop that would let you take it back if it wont fit? Just make your own decision.

By the looks of things you could have either one of the x41 or x61 in the top of the case but if you're worried, the x41 is more likely to fit. However I would say that seeing as both items are made by the same company they have probably been made to fit each other.
