If you happen to be doing this combo for the m-itx case, then you will need to drill out the 4 smaller holes next to the larger ones underneath the radiator shroud on top of the case. You will also need to cut a flap at the back to give the hoses room to go down into the case.

The EVGA Hadron Hydro was always intended for liquid cooling, but using EVGA proprietary kit. The Artic Cooling Liquid II is much better, so was the better option in this old case.

Hopefully after all my bashing around... everything still works when I reassemble everything tonight lol.

(Note, people have got extremely creative with custom water cooling in this case, I just never wanted to go that route. And since I just bought a 5800X, I need to keep it cool.)
 
Also if depending on the motherboard, you may need to contact Artic Cooling for an alternative bracket. For now I have used doubled up electrical tape to avoid contact with mosfets/capacitors (?) on my Asrock Fatal1ty B450 Gaming-ITX/ac.

Had mini panic when I couldn't get it running as I thought I had a bios that could run the 5800X. Turns out the very next version allowed it to post lol.
