Default Question about adding a 2nd Radiator into a WC Loop

Hello fellas and ladies,

In my current project I'm setting up a 1/2" W/C loop. I currently have a Black Ice Extreme 120mm Rad for the bottom front of the case. I was initially going to use that for all cooling efforts. However, looking at the case I think that I may be able to get away with adding a second Rad for the top rear of the case to add some more cooling. The trouble that I'm running into is in the back of the case where I am thinking about mounting the 2nd Rad, my 120mm fan just barely fits because of where the PSU sits. I've attempted to test fit my current 120mm Rad in that spot and it's just too large. The next size smaller Rad that I have been able to find is 80mm. Does anyone know where to find a shroud that would allow me to attach the 120mm fan to the smaller RAD? Or is this whole Idea just not worth the extra effort?

Thanks for any advice that you may have.

Been there, done that. I wouldn't bother if I were you. It's just not worth the hassle for a small return.
