Hey there. Currently planning on picking up a ftw3 hybrid eventually, but I'm not sure exactly sure about how I would go about fitting the radiator into my case (cooler master haf 932).

Initially I thought about replacing the rear fan with the radiator, but I'm currently using a noctua nh-d14, so I'm not sure if it'll fit. Does anyone here have this configuration or something similar?

    That is certainly an option, but I'm hoping the rear fan is doable since I'd be replacing 200mm with a 120mm fan on top otherwise.

    Personally I'd avoid going with a Hybrid as long as you're using a big old air cooler for the CPU with that case. You end up with either a hotter GPU because your using the CPU warmed internal case air to 'cool' GPU or you're running the GPU AIO as intake and that warm air intake into the case makes your CPU run hotter. I kinda ran into your issue using an old Antec 900. Yeah, you could stuff a lot in it, but the options for using anything but 120mm case fans were limited and like you the 200mm fan up top kinda wrecks using that for a nice fat 280 rad for the CPU.

    Best you can do is put the rad at the back and have it as an intake for cooler air in. Have fans in front blow in and the top as exhaust.

    The heat coming in from the rad will heat up the CPU heatsink. Hopefully you can turn that CPU heatsink to blow up and out the top.

    I'd say time for a new case and for an aio for the CPU or full blown custom water cooling loop with triple 120mm rad atleast to cool both the GPU and CPU. More rad space the quieter the fans.. so if you can go with a quad or 2x 360 rads in the new case would be a plus.
