I put together this video on a simple mod for installing a custom watercooling loop with minimal modifications.

First thing I did was some disassembly to get to the bottom of the case. After that, I used an old radiator template thing I had laying around, and used it to mark some hole locations.

I usually tape where I’m going to mark, so I don’t scratch up the paint with the chips from drilling. I forgot, so I taped around my marks instead. Oops.

All I had to do was drill out the 8 holes and it allowed me to mount the fans through the bottom of the case and in to the radiator.

Mounting the radiator this way means I’m no longer using the holes in the bottom plastic piece for the fans. This gives you the freedom to either make your own bottom piece for custom feet, or just lets the fans get a little further from the mesh.

Now it was time to do a little test install of the hardware and cooling components.

I should note that with my particular pump setup, I had to go with an SFX power supply. If someone were doing something similar and had a shorter/smaller/different reservoir arrangement they may be able to use the ATX power supply that comes with the case.

I added a 120mm radiator to the back fan mount of the case, and did some fiddling with the loop order and tubing runs. I installed my PSU, and filled up the water loop.

I put the PSU cable cover back over everything, though it’s just taped in place for now, and that’s pretty much the build/mod for this one. I told you it was a pretty minimal mod.

Overall this was a pretty nice compact little build. Yes, I’m sure there are people out there saying by using that small of a GPU I could have easily used a much smaller case. While this is true, I’ve also got 240mm+120mm radiators and a full custom watercooling loop in this one 😊.
