The tuniq tower 120 i bough doesnt fit in my case,is there any way to remove wayers or something to make it fit

maybe cut the pipes a little?

Not really dude, no

You'd be better off getting a bigger case

Raffi · 23 Mar 2007 at 11:05

no no,
my case is the biggest thing you've ever saw and i wont replace it with any other.Its longer than any lian li case,but not very roomy when it comes to width.
its coolermaster s4000

obviously DONT cut the pipes :confused:

!!!!!!!!!! trim some of the coolings fins a little, but not much, if you still cant fit it then tough, either choose a new case or new cooler, sorry to be blunt dude but thats the way it is !

What case do you have?

Raffi · 23 Mar 2007 at 11:58

Cooler master s4000 SX-1 Exteneded

How far doesn't it fit by? Are we talking a couple of mm or cm's?

Raffi · 23 Mar 2007 at 13:56

by much,definately sm's

If you can't return the TT and its the cooler you want to use your going to have to get a bigger case. Whatever you do don't try to cut the heatpipes and make the TT shorter as it won't work propperly afterwards (not sure what the tuniqs heatpipes contain).

You could always give it to me.

Can you donate it to me? I'll pay for the postage. I would think it would help cool down my overclocked e6600 @ 3.6ghz a bit more.

Same here. Lovely case with lots of room. But because it's designed to fit into a 4U rack it is thinner than most cases. Watercooling is the solution

Won't fit in that monster of a case yet I could get it in my tiny little Lian Li G50B

Sell it and buy something else, NT-06 or similar.

rofl @ the guy who said "sell it"

@Hades - can u show me pics of your SX1

edit:
also hades your case is the smallish version on it
i have the extended one and its a lot longer around 20cm's more which is a LOT

mcc49 · 24 Mar 2007 at 13:22

Wait am I missing something? Why would the length of the case affect the fitting of the Tuniq in anyway? Your case can be the length of a train for all we care, but if its not wide enough it just wont fit as the Tuniq is fitted horizontally along the width of the case?

I think selling a cooler you cant use is a better idea than ruining it by hacking pieces off :rolleyes:

Raffi · 24 Mar 2007 at 15:24

ohmh you ment the cooler...

azzerz · 26 Mar 2007 at 12:39

Leave the side of your case off? :confused:

Matteysan · 26 Mar 2007 at 15:16

Cut an hole in the side of your case so it fits & put some meshing or something over it to make it look tidy?

Other than that you would be best off getting a smaller heatsink.

quantumisation · 26 Mar 2007 at 15:24

it can be mounted more than 1 way cant it? so long as the fan is pointing up or to the back whats the problem? unless it doesnt fit either way in which case your case or motherboard sucks
