Question for someone with a Lian Li A04B

[Mikel1256]

I've got this case on the way and was wondering about my options for CPU cooling.

I've got an H60 now. After watching the video review TTL did, I'm a little unsure about where to mount it.

He said that there isn't a whole lot of room on the upper fan to mount it. I was looking at the front upper fan. Is that feasible without cutting my lower 5.25 bay to make room? I've got 2 HDDs and an SSD, I'll be putting in, maybe there's some sort of configuration where I could throw it on the bottom and maybe move that bottom 3drive bay up, although I don't know how that's going to work with my 6850 space wise.

Anyone who has the case willing to take some measurements for me? I wanna know if I'm gonna need to get a new heatsink if this isn't going to fit.

you cant mount a H60 where your exhaust fan goes?

Unfortunately the rear exhaust on the case is an 80mm vent, no fan included. I've got a plastic mount to change from 80mm to 120mm coming though. There is no way to mount it on the rear panel without that or modding the panel itself.

The upper exhaust fan is too close to the mobo from what TinyTom said in the review.

Well, got the case. Tried every config I could, but the H60 will not fit without some modifications.

Gonna have to cut out the bottom of the 5.25 bay and throw the rad there.

On a side note, for anyone thinking of getting this case and putting a 80mm-120mm converter on the back: Be Forewarned, A 120MM CANNOT FIT THERE

Is the top exhaust not a 120mm?

 

[Mikel1256]

It is, but there is no room for a fan and a radiator because it is so close to the mobo.
