Thermaltake tower 100, Chopped and abused

[Ian Jones]

Hi all

This is my 1st build for around 5 years or so and first time doing a amd build.

I like the look of the thermaltake tower case, but for where I wanted to put it, the tower 200 was just to big, so I went for the tower 100 and decided to have a mod and play with it.

I wanted a aio bigger than the standard 120mm fit, so I went external radiator.

when the standard side panel is on, it blocked half the air flow to the gpu, also it was only 1-2mm away from the glass.

To solve this I went with a diy 120mm fan wall. A nice bit of positive air pressure, the fans can just spin nice and slow, but with a good amount of air going in.

I tried one of them diy pc case filters, but it just blocked the airflow to much, so I raided the mrs sock draw and ''borrowed'' a pair of her tights. This lets lots of air in, but nice and fine to filer.

Those are impressive temps.

Gotta love a radiator assembly bigger than the actual system case. Lovely work.

Any reason you bought the AM5 frame? As far as I know it's a gimmick product piggy-backing off the Intel LGA1700 mounting issue and just not necessary.

I saw it from watching builds on youtube etc. and for the little price it cost, thought I might as well.

 

[LePhuronn]

Can't argue with that

 

[Ian Jones]

A small update, I removed the small 3.5 internal screen, as I think the program used for it was causing my micro stutter. I then fitted a 13.3 inch screen and a 8.8 inch screen onto the case

The screen on the case looks pretty cool, especially for where you have it located on your desk etc as well.

[Akagi]

That's just silly.
I like it.

 

[Ian Jones]

been having a play with the AIO, the 280mm just didn't seam big enough, so now have fitted a 420. and changed to a different screen inside

 

[Ian Jones]

Nice work mate. I guess the build runs near silent ?

pretty much yes. I like to have the fans on low to keep air movement.
