Watercooled CM 311 Elite Mod

post #1 of 26
Thread Starter 
Hey! I'm modding out a CM 311 Elite. I've run into some fun issues that I'm working on for new parts. Still needing another 120mm rad, but working on it!

This mod includes cutting two 240mm fan vents in the top, removing many of the internal drive bays. Repainting the interior of the case with blue primer and paint, and finally cutting up the side panel to put in my custom engraved window..

AP-15's in push/pull on one rad, and two B-ice fans in push pull on the other rad.

Also will be putting in my new socket 2011 board and proc! Pics in the next post!

Haha I'll have more up as I can. Waiting on getting the two rads I need, and figuring out what screws I need to makeshift my own 2011 mount.

Looks promising.Are you going to mount the fans+rad externally?

Nope, everything will be internal. The only thing I'm adding externally are the two grills that you can see at the top.
