Just a 240mm but in the front, the area which needs cutting is a little section from the bottom 5.25 drive bay.

Yes same but different card :p

So here you go. Enough room at the front bottom to add another set of fans for push/pull, won't need it.

Would like to thank Cupra for is skills on the Dremel, a few shattered discs later we got the radiator in place. Everything else was easy except a small leak which sprung out, school boy error.

Temperatures are pretty good indeed, GPU just been through Heaven at 40 Degrees C, in comparison to on air it would hit 78 degrees so a massive reduction. The cpu temperatures have dropped a further 1 or 2 degrees, obviously had to re-apply thermal paste, air bubble etc so could even be better, not sure what the cure time is on MX4 if any?

Really happy. That is all!

Looks really good! Especially as all of the tubing heads back to that top rear quater, just makes it look tidy :D

Did you hit any other issues installing the front rad other than the obstructing 5.25 bay?

I quite like the side fan though.

Ran some Furmark this morning for a hour or so and card never went above 45 degrees. That's with at clock speeds 950/1375Mhz
