360 Radiator on Obsidian 450d

[Pitchblease]

Does the Obsidian 450D can fit a 360 radiator on top but with the port threads of the rad on the back of the case? Thank you in advance

I have not ever seen a case with threaded port openings. AlphaCool and Hardwarelabs have rads with port openings on the "back"

i mean that the ports are facing at the back of the case *

Again, AlphaCool and Hardwarelabs (SR2 ?) have rads with port openings facing the "back" ... that is on the vertical surface of the reservoir.

you don't get it and its my problem sorry since im not that good at explaning things and in english languuage. because im planning to buy this "http://www.dba.dk/koeling-hw-labs-black-ice/id-1029335020/" Its a 360 x flow radiator and i wonder if it will fit at my obsidian 450d case since i think that it will not because the fan (back fan ) are on the way .

I think what you are trying to say is that the tube coming down from the radiator port might hit the rear case fan ?

Unfortunately Corsair is kind cheap on the web site info .... it says it fits a 360mm radiator ... but doesn't say by how much or give you a real dimension.

This may help

When mounting a full length radiator on the roof of the case, the upper 5.25 inch optical drive bay will be partially blocked by the radiator though.

That would imply, if only partially blocking the by, you could slide forward and get some more space.

Unfortunately without knowing the exact dimensions of that rad and the case spacing, no way to get a definitive answer unless you start reading every review and forum post ya can find until you get a poic of a 260mm rad in there and pushed forward.

yea i searched before posting here and i can't really find some info sucks

well the rad measures 412 mm (length ) well i think it will not fit :C

thankyou for the effort tho have a good day or night

Well, if you could fit the 412 ... and then have room to escape the rear fan (+25mm), that would be 437 ... and if it was 437, you would expect Corsair would be making it fit a 420mm.

Alphacool 3 x 120 = 400mm long ... 420 is 468mm

Hardware Labs SR2 is 398mm
