Area-51 R2, 360mm rad AIO install

This is wicked sick! Great Job! I have the R7 Threadripper and I'm looking to install the 3090 Kingpin Rad. Do you mind sharing the cut out you've made to make it fit?

wish someone can sell custom see through side panel (with or without Alienware hieroglyph).

It might be better that the AIO fans blow air towards radiator and out of front instead of taking hot air in.  in the following example the rear fan is reversed taking cool air in.

. . . or you could put the radiator outside the box; always moving fresh ambient air over the fin array . . . never exhausting hot air inside the case

Is this with a stock area 51 r2 case because I might get a area 51 r2 case and want to mount a 360mm radiator upfront with the stock case.

A 360mm radiator will fit in a stock Area-51 R2 . . . but some dremel type modifications are required to open the chassis.

Do you know exactly what I need to cut and the easiest way to do it because I am picking the case up tomorrow?

I see people with it and it doesn't look like it needs any modifications. Please help me understand what I need to do.

This is an Area-51 R5 . . . but the chassis is very similar to the R2. As you can see in the front, there is a mounting configuration for 2 120mm fans. You will need to cut away all the extra metal, making sure to avoid that front I.O panel. With your R2 striped down this far, and the front shrouds removed, you should be able to determine the best mounting position for your 360mm radiator. If I were doing this mod I would also remove the motherboard.

Do you know exactly what piece of metal I need to cut. If not its ok. Thank you so much for all your help.

The metal chassis is designed for 2 or 3 120mm fans . . . not a 360mm radiator. You will need to remove the plastic shrouds and cut the metal chassis so that you can mount your 360mm radiator and fans such that there is no obstruction. Consider removing everything from the front side of the case so that it does not get damaged and you can properly clean the inside after your mod work. You should have your 360mm AIO handy so you can gauge exactly where it can best fit in the case.

Are you talking about the motherboard that controls the LEDs and usbs

no, I am talking about the main board shown in that photo. You could probably get away with leaving the I/O daughter board in place if you add some protection.

This is the metal work that was done for a 240mm radiator from this Tube Vid 

Gloves, safety goggles and a safety towel. I approve.

How are you controlling the cases leds do you need a MSI motherboard?
