Finally need cooling help

I got a H510 elite case last minute for my new build and didn't realize that aio's don't want to fit in this case. I bought an ML240L coolmaster and realized this 240mm radiator doesn't fit at all. So my options are seemingly a strange push/pull 280mm radiator in the front, inside of the display AER fans; or a 120mm radiator in the rear. Air is always an option too i guess i just never think about it. It's for a 3700x with a 5700xt on a B-450 mobo.

Please help. I almost never get stumped but really not sure what i want to do. Also i really don't feel like dremeling out holes in this case to fit this radiator.

it may not be the recommended way, but u could always just fit it anywhere in the case, as long as it's in there and the pipes arent kinked or have high tension on it

and if the system stays in one spot all the time

 

also, hot glue or tape can help fix it in a spot

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

The NZXT H510 Elite should fit a 240mm radiator mounted on the front.

According to Newegg, the case supports a 240mm or 280mm Rad in the front. What is "strange" about a 280mm Rad?

the 240mm i have is too small and doesn't fit. The 280mm isn't even recommended and people seem to be getting them to fit and a 120mm almost seems too small and might as well air cool. Also anything that's not the 240mm i have to order and wait for and hope it works. I miss COMPUSA stores so much right now.

There should be mounting holes for screw for 120mm fans/240mm radiators.

Might look at the pictures on this review and this build. Looks more than possible. Remove the radiator plate, screw radiator on and reinstall.

Are you using the included rgb fans as the rad fans?
