240mm radiator

[eg1122]

Has anyone been able to mount a 240mm radiator on the Area 51 R2 case and if so, can you share any insight or pics? Thanks in advance.

i did that last winter but you need to take off all plastic covers to install a radiator

someone did it recently. it seems rad is fastened to mid 120mm only. top 120 mm fan abuts the rad. both fans blow air out of front?

I moved my setup into a different case in order to fit a 360 AIO and a 240 AIO. Keeping the case as I'm planing on building a system for my son on it. I'll probably end up cutting up the front to better fit a 240mm radiator. I'll also measure to see if I can fit a 360 instead, but doubt that will fit.

someone did it by cutting the front.

Thanks for the pictures, that's more or less what I was imagining.

sorry to reply to an old post but how did you mount this?

Disassemble, then cut / mod the front, similar to pictures in this thread & above

360 RAD spotted on redditware forum > Alienware A51 R2 upgrade and mod

"I use a drill to make new holes to put the Screws on the front and put the 360rad and the fan in a good place, y cut all the brackets to fit the fans, because every fan stop or crash with the bracket, basically I cannot put the case in her normal state again, BTW I think is better, he can fit now 360 mm rad on the front, but I use the first bracket to trace a line to make the exact holes on the front, BTW was not perfect, and I don't put 2 screws on the downside fan because in the corner of the case, but is totally working fine and
it fits very tight, so I didn't have the need to put those last 2 screws"
