SpinQ VT

I was just wondering, is it possible to run a CPU watercooling system and this (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/frontpage/?q=Thermaltake+Spin+Q+VT+Review) at the same time?

i would think no, you can water cool the rest of the system while you aircool the cpu though.

Don't listen to the naysayers! Of course it's possible. But you will probably have to do some machining. And then solder a (custom?) waterblock either below or on top of the mounting for that cooler. I'd not recommend it though since you'd get a lot more cooling from running water and buying more radiator surface area for that money :D

Of course it's possible.

Yes, but it raises a billion questions about the why and how.

If you're asking the question, then the correct answer is almost certainly no. You put a waterblock on the CPU or a air cooler. Yes, if you had your own CNC mill and machine shop, you could probably design and build a waterblock with a flat top and brackets that cooler mounts onto...

I will take a leap into the dark and assume you don't?

I DO have access to a machine shop with both a CNC mill and a CNC turning machine ^^
And I'm also building my own water block using that mill, should hopefully be done soon.

I'd say it's possible so long as you know how to go about doing it. You'd have to modify things around to get it working right and you'd need a non-plexi top water block, otherwise as far as I can see it'd be pointless. However, I think it'd be kind of pointless anyways. I don't think it would make much of a difference or any at all.

Although that's not to say it's not possible to do it in a fashion that would actually be effective. What I'd do is build a sort of reservoir around the CPU Air Cooler. Now that might work. It also might not work. It'd be pretty interesting to see either way I think.

or if you swap out the heatpipes in the CPU cooler with a single bent copper pipe to turn it into a radiator itself
