I should ask following for my brother as i've got no idea about this.
COPY PAST -->
Hey there
I've been looking into liquid cooling recently for my system, and found out that you can have use a CPU cooler for the GPU, closed circuit.
So I figured as this was an easy solution to get a properly cooled system that would get a minor boost in performance aswell, I could give it a shot...
So I'm looking for a silent case that would support 2 closed circuit liquid cooled systems, and I've been unable to tell if it would fit in the cases I've been looking at so far. Been considering coolers like Corsair H90 (CPU) and H105 (GPU), mainly as the GPU would of course require a bit more cooling, so the bigger radiator would benefit in this case.
Going to use a NZXT G10 Kraken mounting bracket, the liquid coolers can be other types (was just examples the 90 / 105).
Unsure which case I could fit that into and still maintain at least 4x 3.5" bays.
I've been looking at the following cases:
Nanoxia Deep Silence 1
Nanoxia Deep Silence 2
Nanoxia Deep Silence 6 (Currently not in stock)
Corsair 500D
Corsair 330R
Been told the Corsair had a bit of a cheap feel to it, which I'm unsure about, also lacks some dust filters and such.
Also been considering the Fractal Design Define R4, which had to be modded to fit it to, which I'd prefer not to do.
Do you guys happen to know if any of these cases would support multiple closed circuit liquid coolers? And if you have any experience with similar setups.
Or do you maybe by any chance know other silent cases that supports such a setup?
May aswell add the links to save you the trip to Google.

Going to be using my current hardware in it, so the CPU cooler should also fit onto my motherboard which is an Asus Z87 Sabertooth, and there should also be room for a Gigabyte 770 GTX (4GB) which is a non-reference card. Also, if there's some decent cable management available this would also be a big + in this case.
According to what I could read the Nanoxia Deep Silence 6 would be the optimal, but if smaller cases would work that would be just brilliant, unsure if this is the case though.
Thanks in advance.
one question, leakage problem aside with the corsair coolers. Why in your healthy mind would you want 2 closed circuit water coolers in your case??? if you are spending that kind of money, do it properly and build it yourself! it will preform much better and most likely be more silent and better looking. as for the case, get the 750D or 900D from corsair, they have dust filters everywhere and room for storing a car.
But water cooling isnt about just adding more radiators to get better performance, adding more just results in a drop in 2 degrees or so and is hardly worth it. its how fast can you transfer heat AWAY from the CPU/GPU not how effectivly you can cool it since 1 240mm radiator can cool a GPU and CPU no problem and if you want you can add a second one.
heres part 1 of building a watercooled system
get your mind of closed looped water coolers now! because you WILL regret it!

Or he could NOT be daft and stop complaining about 10dB fans and disregard overclocking (buy better components instead of wasting money on expensive cooling solutions) and save so much money.

also i might add that slapping a CPU closed cooler on a GPU is NOT going to work since it will not cool the Vram and all the other surrounding components. even if it would cool on its own you destroy the whole benefit of water cooling but not cooling the surrounding parts properly and therefore losing over clocking ability or even performance/lifespan

Instead of spending £150 on water cooling, buy the Hyper 212 EVO for £20 and pay the extra for pre-oc'd cards. That's £130 free to inject into a better CPU/GPU. That will get you better performance than ANY oc job could do on inferior hardware. ALSO, the 212's fan is - for all intents and purposes - silent.
