Description

This is a solution for mounting a radiator to the back of the triad-chassis (R2 - R7) Alienware Area 51 desktop computers. As anyone who has built out of these cases knows, there isn't any proper mounting position for a radiator bigger than 120mm thanks to Dell's "ingenuity". You CAN cram one in the front, but it's a ton of work. Or maybe you've already done that and wish there was room for another. With this bracket, you can solidly mount a 360mm radiator to the back of the tower using the existing 120mm fan mount, and it should also fit a 240mm. The addition of the radiator can make plugging in your monitor cables a little tricky, but you'll have one of the coldest running and quietest Area 51s around!

I also imagine it would work on most other standard ATX towers with a 120mm exhaust. Just size your screws appropriately.

=====================================================================

IMPORTANT: For 27mm thick radiators and push configuration ONLY. Even then, I can't guarantee all parts will fit properly as this was designed specifically for the CLC on the EVGA RTX 3090 Kingpin. This was a fairly quick one-off build so I don't plan on altering the design beyond what I already have.

You need four 6-32 x 1/2" screws, four 6-32 x 2" screws, and small washers to fit.

Also, this requires 3 of Seeger's 120mm fan grills. Helps keep cables out of the fans, but they also serve as some structure for the bottom piece. Download them here.
