Hello.
Because I earned a bit more money than usually I decided to get AiO Cooler for my i7-4770k (which is running on Box right now - be quiet! Dark Rock 2 Pro didn't fit in my case).
From reviews and comparision it looks like Swiftech H320 is the best AiO cooler right now, but it won't fit in my case for sure, so I decided to go with Kraken X60.

So, what do you think? It would have to be installed in second chamber - with PSU and HDD's. There won't be any problems with that?
Or should I go with something with 240mm radiator?
I would love to hear some examples.

Also I would like to replace every fan in my case with something with eighter yellow rings and black fan or yellow led. I have Z97M OC Formula with Avexir Blitz 1.1 OCF so I would like to keep with yellow-black theme. 120mm and/or 140mm.
Any ideas?

Sorry if my post is gramatically weak or chaotic - English is not my native language.
 
I am looking at the same case right now but with the Corsair H105. I am also interested if these AIO's can reach from the back section to the socket, especially with stuff like RAM in the way.

If the Kraken is a sure fit, it might just sway me towards it so I am very interested if anyone knows about it.
 
I dont think they will because of the angles, one hose is so much further away and theres no direct route for the hose anyways
 
Any chance you have one of any of these laying around Tom? Would love to know for sure.

Edit - The X60 is 400mm tubing and the H105 is 300 IIRC

I have the case yes mate but Ive not got the time to get it out, get an AIO out, faff about and take pics etc. Ive pretty much just answered your question already.
 
S'all good man, I know you're a busy chap. I am still interested if maybe I could fit it with some minor motherboard tray modification. As I am looking at buying both the Node 804 and the 105, I will post a mini-log on if it's possible and if not, how I got it to be :)

Edit - Maybe a custom fitting of a Rad holder just behind the tray leaving just enough room for the PSU and Drive cables.

Sorry to the OP for the slight thread derail too.
