if i put two 120mm fan holes in the top of my lian-li pc-60b case, how far do i space them to fit a dual 120mm radiator? (black ice xtreme II)
what shroud should i use?

also, if i had a dual 120mm radiator setup, would 3/8" ID tubing work well to cool both my CPU and GPU (3700+ san diego, geforce 6800 GT)?

what about if i only used a single 120mm radiator setup...
 
you should just wait for your rad to come in and remember to measure twice and cut once.
What I normally do is: measure it myself, draw it in AutoCAD, then print it on sticker paper 1:1, and then cut....
 
hmm, well im not knowledgable about cad programs, but what do you mean by measure twice? should i just center the radiator ontop of my case, mark with a pencil where the screw holes are, and then base the blowhole cutting off of that?
 
Measure twice, cut once. Read and take for litteral, has nothing to do with CAD :rolleyes:

That's absolutely what you should do. Attach the fans to the rad and position it exactly where you want it to go in your case. Get a pencil or some flour or something and mark out where the screw holes are for the fans. That way you can be sure everything lines up.
 
alright cool. one thing though, ive seen cases with both a setup with the fans underneath the blowhole, with a shroud and radiator attached underneath the fans, and i have also seen setups with a radiator attached underneath the blowhole, and shroud and fans underneath the radiator. which is the better setup?
 
there both the same, you just need to make sure the radiator is shrouded
