Hello All and Happy Holidays!

Finally have all of my actual components so I can finally see how much clearance things have. I’ve got the following that will need to be cooled by the Loop.

Ryzen 7 9800X3D + MSI Ventus 4070TI Super 3x OC.

I plan to get the Alphacool Core 1 LT or Alphacool Eisblock XPX Aurora Edge for the CPU (though I might just use my perfectly functional Raystorm V3) and the Alphacool Eisblock Aurora RTX 4070TI Ventus with Backplate for the GPU.

Next is the part I need thoughts on. I have the BeQuiet! Light Base 600 DX and I’m… questioning the applicability of their claim for 360mm Radiator on the bottom. Pictures included.

Case Interior

Bottom Clearance

As you can likely see, just the fan I have pretty much covers up the bottom connectors. Supposedly the side only supports a 240mm Radiator. I’d like to do everything in case as I have no idea where I’d put a MoRA or other external radiator and would prefer to keep the case unmarred. Does anyone think a Radiator can actually go in the botom here?
