I was trying to think of a reasonable configuration for liquid cooling a CM Scout case without needing to hack away at the case.
Now Im a total noob at this liquid cooling and the closest Ive been is my Corsair H50 plug n play solution so please bear with me here.
The Scout has 6 fan positions:
Lower front 1x 120
Upper front (drive bays) 1x 120
Upper rear 1x 120
Top 1x 140
Window 2x 120
For single loop dedicated CPU cooling, could you have a 120 rad in front and a 120 rad in the rear cooling? So basically, starting from the front fan, 120 Rad (front) > res > pump > CPU > 120 Rad (rear) > 120 Rad (front).
If going from the front of the case to the rear is too much distance, what about 140 rad (top) > res > pump > CPU > 120 Rad (rear) > 140 rad (top)
Taking this even further, could you now use the two free front fan positions to cool GPU lower 120 rad > res > pump > GPU > upper 120 rad > lower 120 rad
Again, Im totally new to this and have just started doing research.
