Hello guys, am still new to SFF but gotta switch over from the Thermaltake core g21 to the Lian Li TU-100 since I will be heading back to Malaysia for a while, wanted to ask if anyone have experience in drilling holes in their casing especially non-plastic ones? [Found them on pinned topic]
I'm interested in modding my case for better temp control.

I've moved usable parts from my previous desktop into the new case.
Temperature is not that good since there's only 1 fan in the case

I'm running
Ryzen 7 1700 oced to 3.7
Cryorig c7
Crucial ballistic 8x2 ddr4-2666
MSI b450i mobo
Zotac gtx 1080 mini offset 100 core clock and 150 memory clock
600w kurotoushikou 600w sfx PSU (some japanese brand)

Cable management for now look like this until I get my hands on shorter psu cables.


I was actually planning to go AIO but was afraid that I couldn't hand carry them on flight so ended up with normal air cooling.

My temperature for now is hitting around
CPU 85c +-
Gpu 85c +-
While running rainbow 6 at decent settings on 1440p

I am planning to bring the case to some mechanic to drill since they have all sorts of driller and even tiny ones, now I just need to figure out how to drill the side panel's side for the fan cables.
My only concern now is the dust from the drilling since the side panel is made of aluminium, will see how it goes when I get my fans and the measurement.

Yeah, was worried about them refusing earlier but my dad gave his mechanic friend a call and he said to bring over the case and we'll discuss about the drilling and cutting.
Good to have some connection I guess hmm I'll try to clean it as good as possible since I dont wanna risk having those steel dust getting into the computer component.

Not the prettiest result but managed to slot in 2 more fans to the LianLi tu-100, 1 on the side panel and 1 under the GPU, the Noctua slim fit just nice with around 1mm gap between the fan and the GPU.



Got my temp down by 10c under full load but cable management inside is a mess right now.
