Is it possible to watercool a gpu in the XTD?I've been looking at pictures on the site of clearances and of people's builds but I'm just not quite sure. If you mount a 120mm radiator and fan to the top XL vent panel, that gives you 80mm for a CPU cooler (135mm - 30mm rad - 25mm fan). That would be fine for a top down style cooler, but then you would have the two fans working in opposition (one blowing down on the cpu, and one blowing up through the radiator) and it seems like they'd starve each other for air.Would it be possible to mount a second radiator for the cpu somewhere else in the case? Maybe a slim one to the front 120mm vent? Or maybe some kind of cpu blower that would go...up? I'm open to weird ideas, I've been sitting here imagining all kinds of bizarre things with blower fans and 3d printed ducts, but there's only so far I can go without having one in my hands!I'm also curious about airflow in the standing configuration. One of the "airflow layout examples" shows the 80mm fan as an exhaust, but that doesn't seem like it would work if that's at the bottom. I haven't been able to find pictures of any configurations set up vertically like that to see how other people are doing it.I appreciate any help!
