Here is the mounting hardware again just to give you a refresh. You have:
- AMD brackets
- Universal backplate
- Thermal paste
- dual 4 pin to single 4 pin cable
- Instruction manual
- Anti vibration pads
- Square spacer
- Spring locking screws
- Insulation sheets
- 8 fan radiator fan screws
- 4 black stand-offs
- 4 LGA 2011 screws
- 8 radiator screws (to secure radiator to case without fans)
- 4 mounting screws for the pump
Installing the fans is pretty simple and you can choose to install them on either side of the radiator. There are 16 screws provided but only 8 support fans. The other 8 are for securing the radiator to the case.
The total thickness with fans added is 45mm (radiator) + 25mm (fans) = 70mm total. So you’re going to need a hefty amount of space at the top of your case. This certainly isn’t an option for everyone.
Installation is simple. You attach the backplate using the four screws and black spacers to secure.
The backplate has the appropriate holes for easy installation.
Then you use the spring screws to secure the pump unit. For Intel you can just use the pre-installed brackets for AMD you’ll need to swap them out for the provided AMD ones.
Now this looks like a really nice cooler and your review really piqued my interest. I’m looking forward to getting my claws into the TD03 because the TD02 won’t fit in my case (on the open bench it’s not a problem naturally). Hopefully I can obtain a ‘sample’ that I can keep but that’s not always guaranteed. I too am not a lover of FEP tubing but this thing looks like it’s built to last so maybe FEP is not a bad choice.
would this fit in a haf x?
Yes this would fit in a HAF X at the top. You should also be able to get the fans inside the case in push too. If you look at the attached image you can see a H100 in push pull (total thickness is 27+25+25= 77mm) the SilverStone Tundra TD02 is 70mm thick so will definitely fit. If you have any more questions please do no hesitate to ask.

Thanks for the reply, how about If I wanted to do a push pull as well, would 4 fans be too much ?
Inside the case it would BUT If you choose to use “slim” fans it would work. By slim I mean 12mm thick 120mm fans like the Gelid Slim 12, Phobya G-Silent Slim 12 etc. Four of those in push pull would fit. Or alternatively you can use four “normal” (25mm-thick) fans but the second pair would need to mount on top of the case underneath the ventilated plastic shroud.
What about a Phantom 820/Switch 810? Is it possible to fit this is push/pull with standard 25mm fans?
That’s a total thickness of 90mm needed between the top of the case and the start of the motherboard. It will vary on what motherboard you choose. A H100(i) in push-pull with standard fans does fit. This might be tight as its 13mm thicker. I’d say it should fit yes, but it does depend a lot on your motherboard. As for the Phantom 820 again I’d say yes but the same precautions apply.

Thanks for the detailed answer!
The point is that I got some GT AP-15 fans from a friend that I’d like to use in my next build. I thought about a H220 in push/pull, but this Tundra looks very interesting since I’m not really interested in expandibility.
It seems that someone managed to fit a XT45 radiator in those case but, as you said, probably it depends on the motherboard (that will be probably either a Z87X-UD4H, an Extreme 6 or an Asus Pro)
*fit a XT45 radiator (push/pull) in those cases
