Coolermaster Centurion 5 - What Radiator??

[Flapjack]

The case, familiar to many, is shown here on my website: http://www.cabuzzi.com/blue.htm

I had originally wanted to mount a single 120mm type radiator in the back like on this computer I built for a friend, but there really is no room for the fittings to come though.

I suppose I could mount the radiator on the inside, but really prefer it on the outside. In fact, if I'm going to mount the radiator on the inside, I may just cut a hole in the top of the case, use a grill and mount the radiator that way.

Any input would be nice. If someone has pics of black ice radiators mounted in this case, I'd really like to see them.

Also, keep in mind, the hardware in this computer has changed significantly over what's listed on my website. I'm now running an A64 FX-55 (not overclocked.... yet) and dual 7900GS video cards in SLI.

I only plan on watercooling the CPU, as trying to watercool those two video cards would be two expensive.

Adding a PA160 radiator would do it fine, or a double swiftech MCR radiator with a radbox out the back 120mm.

A little too pricey for me. I think I'll just go with the Black Ice Pro and mount it inside the case, so the rear 120mm is pulling air through it.

Will this reservoir fit in the Centurion?

That res should fit.

Get a swiftech MCR instead of the BIP, it'll do better. Don't expect to OC your CPU at all if you're going with a single radiator.

And, remember, make sure to cut out the back grill so you get as much airflow as you can.

The MCR120? Is this the one you're talking about?

Also, I was going to just get a MAZE4, but now I'm starting to consider the TDX. The only problem is that it's twice the price. Not sure if I can justify that.....
