I started out doing this project with no intention of doing a video on it but when I researched this cooler install with my case I came up with what I consider to be bad information and it motivated me to make this video. I had in fact gotten most of the install done before I decided to take it all back apart to make this video so anyone that wants to see how it's actually done can see it done with no mods or tricks or anything else.

This is a straight up installation of the radiator and fans in the top of the case and not in the front as I was led to believe would be the best place for it. It is in fact impossible to mount the radiator in the front of this case without modding the case and that sheer fact caused me to lose a lot of time so I hope this video helps others not to make that same mistake. This is an install on an AM4 socket so the Intel installs are slightly different but I've mentioned the small differences in the video and show the hardware needed so you should be able to do that install as well.
