I am currently in the middle of a rebuild of my gaming rig and I've decided on a few new components:
Fractal Design S (Windowed)
MSI Z97 Gaming 5 MB
Sapphire R9 290 Reference Video Card
CPU Cooler - Corsair Hydro H110i GT
GPU Cooler - Corsair Hydro H60 + HG10 A1
I've decided to mount the H110i on the top of the case and that seems to provide enough length for the block to get to the cpu, but when I tried to mock up the H60 mounting it on the front of the case it does not appear to reach the GPU core location.
I am now re-considering using aftermarket watercooling on my graphics card now. I know the R9 290 runs very hot and loud while gaming, but I am running out of ideas on how to make this setup work.
Maybe I just need a different Corsair cooler that has more length? I am having trouble finding tech specs that list out the tubing lengths across all hydro models.
