    I have a triple in at the moment :





    So length / width wise it should be fine

    The new rad is approx 25mm deeper so may be tight under the case, may have to look at some mods to raise the case slightly

    I was more concerned of the thickness, but looks like you have plenty room underneath.

    Well all the parts are here, the old rig is stripped and drained down.

    New Pump / res in place and the rad flushed and barbed up :P

    The new rad is slightly longer and the fixing positions different to the last rad, so (hopefully tonight) ill be introducing Mr.Jigsaw and Mr.Drill to my case again to make things line up.

    Unfortunately the rad came without fixing screws (Thermochill were extremely helpful and apologetic) and they are in the post today

    So, all going well, I should be hopefully up and running by the end of the weekend / early next week some some pics of the ne setup.

    Cheers

    Right, so finally got the parts and being swapping the kit over for the last few days - still have some bits and bobs (cable management and a few other things) to sort out, but here we go ............

    Got the new pump attached to the mobo tray and all plumbed up ....



    Losing the bay res has freed back up enough room to get a 120mm fan in the front of the case, which now looks like this (the door is not fitted on this shot):



    Some of the inside with it all filled up and ready to go

    Now for the temps .............

    I was idling around mid 30s @ 3.6 - bearing in mind the general temperature (weather wise) has gone up a few degrees over the last few days, im quite happy with these:



    Under load I was getting high 60s (sometimes into the 70s) with a core dropping



    Ive solved the core dropping by adjusting the the voltages and my Prime temps have dropped by quite a bit:
