will the h100 fit this case or shall i go for the h80 with pump problems? i have a single 120mm fan on the top and space for 2 but still unsure if it will fit.

Is there a better all in one water cooling system for the same price? what's the antec kuler 920 like in comparison?

Again thank you for anyone who takes the time to enlighten me.

All the best and hope you all have a fab Xmas or thanksgiving etc.

My system is i7 2700k, 16gb g-skill sniper ddr3 1600 MHz , 3.6tb hdd total sata 6gb, 1gb ddr5 asus ati eah6770 card with stock cooler for i7 on asus p8p67 pro b3 revision 3.1

Why are you getting a case with really bad airflow with a system like yours?

If the case supports two 120mm fans at the top then the H100 should fit with no problems.

Thanks for the reply, I actually have the case and the airflow is great, as it stands with the stock cooler at 4GHz clock I idle at 18 degrees c and under load playing battlefield its peeked at 39, its how ive set the fans but one I want the space, 2 ive clocked it to 4.4GHz and it idles 27-30 and peeks at 57 I have 3 fans linked to the speed dial at the front of the case, one cools the hd's from the front and flows to the back with the big 180mm fan at the side and one drawing air up from the bottom and one taking out the top. working great and they are all silent running fans and if I put them on full I get a sub standard performance so they are only on half on the dial and it works great. for the price im extremely happy with the case but i want to go liquid cooling for the performance, so I was going to go for the h80 but then I saw the h100 got gold awards and its only 2 quid more so I was wondering if I could fit but you have kindly answered my question which is ace! so thank you and im probably gonna give the h100 a shot! ;-)

Thanks again! relay appreciate the info

I think i may have an issue with the clearence on the p8p67 pro components for the h100? any thoughts?

Blue fins above stock cooler?????

does it look more likeley to fit h80 rather than h100, i know now the h100 has space for fitting into the case but components might get in the way? any suggestions? or just go h80?

You wont fit the H100 up top, you need a clearance of 30mm for the rad and 25mm for the fans, 55mm in total.

It looks like you have just about have enough room for a fan so the H100 is a no go unfortunately.

 

[yassarikhan786]

Oh yeh, I forgot about the clearance you need.
