    NZXT Phantom Watercooling

    Hey, so I was wondering if I should get a H80 or a H100 for my new PC that I'm building. I was just wanting to know would there be space for a dual rad in the NZXT? I know I could removed the LED fan and add it in but don't really want to lose the LED, that's why I was thinking of getting the H80.

    Thanks in advanced!

    It should be able to take a dual rad there's a bracket to support it


    I cannot tell you much more.

    you could remove the top 200mm fan, fit the h100 into the top normally and then put the 200mm fan on the side panel instead
    that's the normal phantom not the phantom 410 btw but the 410 can also take a dual rad

    Sorry for the delay.
    Yes, it's the normal Phantom (Enthusiast) I am getting, do you think there would be just enough clearance for a push-pull configuration?

    I may just go with a H80, mount it on the back and then just have 5 case fans as I plan in modding the side panel with just a mesh so you can see into the case better when there is lights on.

    there should be room for push pull but you'd have to remove the top fans and it'd depend on the thickness of the rad (although the all in ones tend to be only 25mm thick

    Although I think the H80 is thicker but it's single 120rad not a dual fan 240rad, shouldn't be any issue mounting it on the back

    Yeah I was planning on just mounting the H80 on the back, probably just do that.
    Thanks for your help.
