Hey guys,

It's the first time I'm struggling with a case :-/

I got the MSI Sekira 500p, and it's specified on overclocker.co.uk and the official webpage, that I can fit an AIO watercooling.

So I bought the "NZXT Kraken X72 360mm", however I cannot find any way to fix the radiator on the top of my case.

Also, I didn't find an easy way to remove the top (I don't believe this is removable, I already tried :-/ ).

I had a look for an article or video about how they mount their PC in a MSI Sekira 500p, unfortunately I only find one video with a ventirad...

- Radiator, but not screwed/fixed : http://sqdz.free.fr/img/2.jpg
- MSI 500p Manual : http://sqdz.free.fr/img/msi_500p.jpg
- NZXT 360mm x72 manual : http://sqdz.free.fr/img/nzxt.jpg
- Overclocker : http://sqdz.free.fr/img/overclocker.jpg

On multiple site and even the official site, they show this model with a watercooling AIO, but there is no information anywhere on how to mount it :-/

Your help will be very appreciate! :)

Kind regards,

Looking at the first two pictures it appears there are (6?) little plastic tabs that you will need to pinch and push to release the top (far left, middle and far right on the first picture). Also looks like the same sort of thing on the front as well.

The radiator should then mount by being screwed in from the top.

Given the case design it would have made more sense if the top slid off to the rear rather than act like a front panel attached to the top.
 
Hey,

thank for your help!

You are completely right, I was thinking exactly like you, however one of them is very complicated to access.. (I tried from different side of the case) so that the reason I wasn't sure, because I was a bit scared to break the case (warranty)

I give another go tomorrow with a small pliers.

I agree, they fixed this problem with their others models 500g/500x... At the beginning, I was thinking the difference between 500g and 500p will be only the color gold/silver... but nop :-/
