Hi, this looks good dude but you would have not much flow rate in this system as the pump is not that strong and you have a lot of quick coupling on use :) . Is custom loop an option for you? You can also write an email to info@alphacool.com and get an offer for the products.

What would you say would this work. Problem is the case - we have a Masterbox K500L so a bigger reservoir would not fit.
Since I can/could mount the fans on the outside as well would this be an issue with the airflow?

It's sad because I actually wanted to take advantage of the RGB Aurora offers.

Both versions are fine to me dude very nice choise and performance too.

I can/could mount the fans on the outside as well would this be an issue with the airflow?
Getting the air out of the case or blowing it in? Or build up a circulation like blowing the air in from the front and getting it out from the top you know how i mean? That should be no problem in my opinion. The case has not much room i think you would get problems to place the top radiator because of the mother board but i might be wrong :)

I meant installing on the front. is it required that the fans are directly mounted on the Radiator or can they be mounted on the opposite side of the chassis

You can mount the fans (if there is enough space between the front cover and the case) like that no problems dude.
