Water cooler

[skoville]

Hello all,
I have a IN WIN GT1 case and wanted to install a Nepton 240L in. I find no way of mounting the radiator or the pump. No through holes. Anyone have any success installing a water cooler in this case? I think I either have to get a different case or cooler. Ideas?

Have a look at these google images of the Nepton 240L. Should give you an idea on how it will fit in your case.

It supports 2x 120mm fans up top, it should support any 240mm radiator up there

Yes and thank you for the reply. I think that's the rub. The IN WIN GT1 has no flat top and no way to mount. The back side of the MB doesn't have any through holes to mount the plate. I've watched installation videos many times 1st. I believe it's eat the IN WIN and get a Trooper or another cooler. I might have to settle for an air cooler. Hate to with a FX 9590.
Oddly, when I looked up Trooper, they recommended Corsair.

The plate gets mounted on the motherboard, not the case...

Yes I know the through holes are through the MB. Not on my GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD5

OOPS My error. If I take out the plastic lugs for the stock cooler, there's the 4 holes. At least 3 you can get at.

Thanks for the images, Nebulous. Gave me a idea or two.

Guess the next step is grow some hair and dive in. Thanks, All.

Well put!

Well, you shouldn't be scared of your own equipment but you must respect it. Lest we forget the guy a while ago who put the USB2 header into a 1394 jack and borked his motherboard. or "Pastey", the guy who put an entire tube of AS5 between his CPU and his HSF.

No sweat. Like rayray said: Don't be scared. Take your time and plan your attack accordingly. You'll do fine
