    700D and 2 Rads Question

    Hey folks,

    First of many posts from me.

    Looking into getting one of these fabulous cases.

    I know a triple fits in the top without any modding, but was just curious as to how easy it was to install a double rad in the bottom of this monster?

    I've seen the 'how to' guide for the 800D, but wasn't sure how different this was to the 700D.

    Would a single radiator fit in the bottom as a worse case scenario if a double doesnt fit?

    Thanks for your help folks,

    Bob

    Re: 700D and 2 Rads Question

    One simple option that requires no real modding at all is to reverse the rear 140mm exhaust fan (which is a good idea anyway, to feed extra cool air to the 120.3 radiator you'll have at the top) and then put in a 140.1 radiator on it, such as the Black Ice GT Stealth 140. But you should wait and see what the official CORSAIR bods say.

    Fraz,

    Thanks for that.

    Thought about that option as a lot of people out there are using the H50 on the back of this case.

    Got a pretty decent Swiftech dual rad in my current rig which I thought I could reuse hence the question.

    Basic setup I hoped to do in the 700D was: pump - triple rad - i7 920 D0 - double rad - 5970 - reservoir - pump
