Where to mount Rad

[RockyC2D]

I need help finding a place to mount a 3x120mm Radiator. I have a Thermaltake Armor Full Tower Case. I did some measurements and i think it might be a tight fit inside the case near the front. I really want to drill holes in my brand new case to fit a radiator.

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas where to mount one. Or should I just go with a 2x120mm radiator, i will be running a cpu & gpu water loop.



Thanks

im planning to try to mount mine on the top outside the case....it certainly wont hit inside mine...so im going to drill some holes through drop and put it there...did you said you want to drill holes in the case?..seems kinda like you dont :P

I really don't want to drill any part of my case, but it will be the last thing I do, most likely will have too.

Question: you drilling holes to keep the radiator elevated off the top of the case.

Did you mean you really don't want to drill holes in it?

One option would be to mount the rad above the case on standoffs. This would still involve some drilling.... Hmmm, if you're dead set against modifying the case, you might be able to route your tubing through the card stack or out a drive bay and attach the standoffs to that blowhole somehow. Drilling would probably be more elegant, though.

Here are some examples of my previous builds with an Armor:

Note: it is at the bottom of the case, the bottom was cut out to allow airflow...
