Will my pump handle a heatercore?

Will my C-Systems 750 MarkII be able to provide the power I need to run through a Swiftech MCW6002, a GPU block from Kingwin, and a Bonneville Heatercore?

Just as a little side note, where would be best to mount such a heatercore into a full size Antec SX1200 Case?
 
The single C-systems shouldnt have a problem although there will definitly be better performing pumps out there. Also if you havent purchased the c-systems yet, id do some research around the forum, alot of members seemed to have problems with them.

The best place to mount the heatercore would most likely be at the top of the case, in the very top 5 1/4" bay. Or you could also try mounting it below the 3 1/2" bays if theres room

I already bought it.. hehe... it's been running for a while now. I actually had a problem but I got it exchanged and it's working pretty good now.

I'm thinking of mounting it below the 3 1/2 bays. Too bad I would have to cut the case up in order to get the 120mm. How would it perform though if I tried just using the 80mm holes for the heatercore?
 
The pumps will handle it fine so long as they remain functional....the Csystems pumps have by far the highest failure rate of any other pump I have seen.

You do realize that a bonneville heatercore is 2x120mm and not just 1x120mm right? Mounting it on top will take up 2 drive bays once you add on the fans, you will probably have room for a short shroud too (maybe half an inch, not ideal but it helps).
 
I'm measuring my pc-6077 and with two panaflows + bonni core you can have a 1/2" shroud MAX.

I'd say youd have ahelluva time putting the heatercore in front of some 80's... and if you did, whats the point?
 
its 2x80mm stacked in the front of that case if im not mistaken.

in order to get the dual 120mm to fit the only way would be to also cut out the 3.5" bays. I remember I had one of those cases and i got a 120mm and 80mm to fit in the front below the top 3/12" bay. My current Silverstone TJ06 came with a 120mm and 80mm in the front and by cutting those out and the 3 1/2" bay I got a DangerDen Dual 120mm Heatercore to fit.

I do beleive the Dangerden heatercore is just a tad bit smaller though.
 
I just checked my case, I would have to hack off the support for one of the hard drive bays, and that's not something I want to do. Looks like I'll have to mount it up top above the PSU and 92mm Fan. At least I have lots of space in a full tower :D

you wouldnt have to "hack" the bay out. its 4 rivets, 1/8" drill bit through the center of each and itll fall out nicely. you will have to cut away a large chunk of the front though to get airflow though, but youll have to do that on the top anyway

Yeah, just realized. I'm debating either putting it in the front or on the top. On the top, if I ever wanted to take out the heatercore, wil have two pretty nasty holes, but in the front is quite a bit more work.
 
Just a thought....
I don't know that case, but is there any way you could mount it off the back of the case?
You said it was a full tower, right.
Or it might be possible to mount it in the side of the case where a window would normally go. Alot of full tower cases are pretty wide and that would let your fans pull through your rad and blow onto the vid card / northbridge area of the motherboard. You'd have to ask some of the other guys but I don't believe that the air would pick up alot of heat from the rad before it hit the motherboard.

Like I said... Just a thought.
