[SOLVED] Water cooling on an Alienware Predator R1?

[Tein98supra]

Anybody know if it's possible to use water cooling on of those those older Alienware Predator cases? I bought the case and rebuild it new everything. Told my self I always wanted an Alienware but never got around to getting an actual one. So when the chance came up for it I snagged a Blue Alienware predator case for 15 bux... finally built a gaming PC with some really good parts (for 2005)anywho.. fast forward to now.. I was thinking of adding some extra RAM and another GTX960 .... and got to thinking... can this case even mount a water cooling system?

What CPU you running? I can't see why you can't run an all-in-one liquid cooler.

I'm running an AMD 990FX

AM3 socket I think. Most all-in-one liquid coolers support it. What size is the exhaust fan on the back? 120mm or 140mm?

 

[Tein98supra]

A single 120

Perfect, I recommend getting a Corsair H55. But any 120mm all-in-one (AIO) will work. Just check the compatibility list that it supports AM3.

Ah, I see.. I'll look into that. You think I'd run into mounting/sizing issues with the case?

I'll need to see a picture of the inside. I've never seen the inside of those cases.

I'll try and get a good picture for you ASAP.. work has had me working crazy hours.. and I probably use a decent blowing out with a can of compressed air

No worries
