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.

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.
