So the Hybrid Kit will feature a 240mm radiator on 3xxx cards. Wondering if anyone knows if the Corsair 760t case would be too long to reach for the kit to act as front radiator? I'm already running a top radiator setup for my CPU. And the exhaust rear fan only supports 120mm. Nowhere to place that.
Any help is appreciated.

It's very similar to the 2080ti KPE AIO cooling. Hose is 15" long. You can estimate the hose bend radius and measure the horizontal span to the front. My KPE rad reaches the front and top of the Phantek P500A. Edge of ATX board to fan frame on front is ~ 7". Doesn't reach the front on the 900D or probably any Super Tower. Had to get creative when I mounted the rad behind the front cover fans with custom brackets. A little tight especially if you try to keep the rad hose on the bottom.

Make sure when you are measuring that the hoses go toward the BOTTOM only the case, and radiator goes above. Many hybrid kits die because users out the hoses at the top and that causes air bubbles to damage the pump.. hoses at the bottom, no matter where it is mounted.

So question for you since you own the 900d and I assume the message i quoted is from your own experience and not someone elses.
Do you think the the rad would work mounted to the sides? The left side can hold 4 fans on the left side (looking at front of case, side with window) and the right side can hold 2 fans.
Do you think it would make sense to mount it to the left side and have a push pull? The air down there doesnt matter so pulling cold here from the ground and pushing it through the bottom of the case to the other side makes sense to me. There's enough space down there I think for a rad in push pull if you only have one PSU and its mounted towards the right slot / underneath the mobo.
Thanks in advance!

If I had to use the 760T, I would suggest this: (not sure if this is the same 760T you're using) I removed the bottom drive cages if the RAD can be mounted to the front. I like performance and functionality with neatness. Bling is gone due to ease of maintenance and R&R.  If you're referring to my case, I moved my EK 360 to the bottom and used push/pull. I left the front fans for intake and will install the future KPE 360mm up top. I don't want to use the KPE AIO RAD on the bottom since the pump will be the high point and may make noise.  I'm still looking to the "perfect" case, but found issues since I want to keep my internal bluray writers.

So the pump for the 3xxx hybrid series is on the GPU. Giving it’s going to be mounted into the PCI-e slot, is noise a problem? I want to mount the 240 rad at the bottom with the horses coming out towards the front of the case. Based off this https[]bit-tech.net/reviews/tech/cases/corsair-obsidian-900d-review/3/ the rad should fit easily at the bottom. I found this clearance picture which makes me hopeful that it’ll be fine but I don’t want to have to order and find out if it works or not so looking for advice / opinions. https[]m.imgur.com/Zi9vrJ9?r From what I can tell, the 240mm with at least 2 fans will fit at the bottom without issues. Now I’m concerned about water pressure / air / noise. Edit: didn’t realize this forum didn’t allow links. I’ve made it so they show so you can remove the [] and replace with the proper syntax and they should load

Mounting the AIO RAD on the bottom may work, but not recommended. The reason the pump block "may" make noise is the high point collects air. Gamers Nexus did a really good video on AIO radiator mounting. Having air in the pump can reduce the performance and may affect long term reliability. This is my old 1080ti SLI setup. On my recent 2080ti KPE, I mounted the 240mm RAD in the same location. Front case fans feed cool air into the AIO RAD. I have good airflow in this case so I'm not worried about GPU cooling. The 900D case has served me well over the years.

Woah that’s smart. How did you manage to mount it like that?
I watched the gamers nexus video yesterday and it makes sense to me why AIOs need to be mounted correctly and higher than the pump.
If I can mount my hybrid like yours it’s definitely going to happen otherwise im going to have to keep playing the waiting game.

I made a custom aluminum "L" bracket and used the screw hole where the drive cages were secured to the MB panel. Single side mounted bracket since I don't transport the case. Easy to remove when I need to dust and vacuum. Barrows and many others make pre-fabricated brackets that range in price. Here's one: https://www.xs-pc.com/fans-radiator-accessories/120mm-universal-radstand

Wow this is genius. I’m going to see if I can have a buddy make these for me since it looks like xs-pc doesn’t have them available.
Thanks for your help!
