As for the klutz, yeah I know that feeling.. lol well, if you have a dremel, that would be fine (square hole). Or, go out and grab a hole saw to attach to a drill.. The hole saw will be pricey, I paid $25 for a 120mm one, but well worth it.. I've used it for about 14 holes so far..

![]() I have a dremel someplace(in a box) i even think i have a hole saw(have seen it someplace before) Looks don't matter much as it won't be seen and only will be used to let the PSU suck cool air in. Now does it have to be a 120mm hole or can it be smaller?

well, I would go and make a hole as big as the fan it self.. now if you have a smaller hole saw.. trace the area for a 120mm fan.. Then with the hole saw you have. Drill in the 4 corners and then shave the rest to make it a full 120. you can do it with a smaller one. Just gotta do a little more work to make it look like one drill hole.

Also the 300 is getting glossy black this time. The red looks nice but its just not something that i really like on the whole interior but the front mesh part is getting a good cleaning and fresh coat of red as it has been scratched up also(i don't know how that happened )

I'm very close to finishing the major overhaul on my rig. It's my first foray into the world of watercooling, and I'm pretty pleased with the outcome. It would be hard to fit much more into my case but I didn't want an external rad. The only thing left is a little more annoying cable management and maybe a few more light adjustments. I also lost the cap to my res, so there is a ghetto rubber stopper in there for now.
I have a single 230mm fan over the dual radiator, which seems to work really well, and is very quiet. Had to do a lot of cutting, drilling and painting, so it is nice to have all my components back inside the case, not strewn about my dest. But, I'm bored already, so I will have to come up with more "chores." Also, I received quite a bit of help from fellow TPUers, and purchased most of the WC components from the FS thread.![]()

That Azza is looking good, very nice for your first WC
I was tempted to pick that one up to replace my Fantom.

Thanks, folks. Yah, I like my Solano pretty well. It's got good air flow and is quiet, a great case for the price. I can see myself moving up to an Obsidian in the next year or so, just for more room to screw around in.
Glad to put your leftovers to good use, peet I'm not sure I'm using the right nozzle in my block, I debated whether to use the quad nozzle, but it seemed like it was more for Intel chips, so I just put the fattest holed one in.

![]() One more before it gets put inside a case. ![]() Edit: Image edited because TPU's resize feature messed up the last one.

To be honest Doug it is about 5 degree's cooler that my old Noctua 12.
Very easy to install and to be honest the quietest CPU cooler I have ever owned and very impressed with it

Woo having two rigs again, parents realised system in system specs was overkill for them, putting them together a pentium d system ( yes I know they're shite, but fine for parents!)
Went through ebay saw bargains left right and centre for CPU coolers, but I decided to go with something OEM but completely different to anything I've ever seen ![]()
