yes they do..
and best to my knowledge, the GENE and GENE-Z use the same heatsink config.
the biggest prob is the south bridge (chipset) because of GPU location.
Watercool and MIPS..
EK: has MOSFET only..
WaterCool: WC-11420, WC-11421, WC-11422
MIPS: 14511

Oh my bad. I didn't know they would to be honest, thought you had to have a completly diffrent waterblock for each chipset. Im pretty new to that kind of stuff.

the chipset is deffo different, but the heatsink it pretty much the same for P67 and
Z68. as for the MOSFET blocks, identical.

Here are my breif nitpicks of the Fractal R4 w/Window:
IMHO there is not enough cable management in the back. With all the cable tie down spots all on the left side of the backside of the motherboard tray, it becomes a hassle trying to get everything tied down in only 4-6 spots that are not spaced out. Would have been easier if they provided more in the middle and right side and main 2 cable grommets moved more towards the middle just a little bit more.
And the inconvience of having to buy your own standoffs and installing them yourself are my only complaints.
Alll in all a terrific case but should have gotten the XL2 for only 10$ more

Tips on a suitable vandal switch for the R4. Id like to get as close to a matching one but with a red led.

You can get the black one and buy a 5mm red led and switch it out. Pretty sure its 5mm from reading past threads, i just don't know how to do it lol. Airdeano probably does considering he is a modder
