Thermaltake Core V51 - EKWB X240 Set Includes
Hey all new to the forum and to watercooling
I was thinking about getting one of the ekwb kits, and more specifically was looking at the xtreme kit. I know the rad that it comes with is 60mm, and I know i could mount it as an intake but I personally would rather have it on top, but it is a massive rad. So my question is, anyone with the thermaltake core v51 case have you used the ekwb xtreme kits or any for that matter, and is a 60mm rad going to fit on the top with fans attached. Pictures are always nice if you have any by the way lol
But yeah I just built my first computer this past February and it was a success and am very happy with it (just waiting on these new nvidia gpus to release lol, and hardware wise it will be a complete computer), now I'm interested in custom loops, so any tips tricks whatever, always willing to learn from people more experienced
The intake/exhaust process mainly depends on fan direction, not the radiator placement. What CPU do you have? Are you planning an overclock? I’m assuming the GTX 1000 will also be water cooled. Could you share a link to the EK kit you’re thinking about? Right now I’m using this kit because it’s only 40mm thick, so I won’t face clearance problems. I’m wondering if I can simply lower the optical drive to the lower bay once the radiator is installed, based on my measurements I should still fit it. Here’s the link: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-kit-p360. I’m considering a 360 rad for future flexibility, especially if I plan to add a GPU later. At the moment I’m using a 6600k at 4.6, it’s air cooled, but I expect to upgrade to a 1070 later—results will be clear.
