Has anyone successfully installed a Corsair H100i Liquid CPU Cooler in this case? Or any other liquid CPU cooler?

I was considering it but based on my musings you'd have to cut out one of the grills so that half of the radiator/fan can stick outside the caseedit: whoops i was considering the H60 not the h100.. you'd have to cut out the side of the case for that

There's no way the H100i will fit.BUTI was able to fit a Corsair h60 Corsair Hydro Series High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler H60 with this motherboard ASUS P8Z77-M LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard The only thing though was that it needed a lot of wiggling around and it wasn't able to be screwed onto the case. It's pretty much free flowing near the back left of the fan window. Surprising enough it has been working for the last 3 months no problem with no vibration.

I modded the top of the case just above the CPU and installed an h100i. I cut out two holes for the fans to exhaust and screwed two 120mm fan filters on the top of the case so that it looks clean. My temps dropped hugely with the extra exhaust and the h100i fits perfectly. I wish they had an option for a top exhaust in the first place but my mod turned out great. I wouldn't recommend if you place a receiver or something on top of the case. My rack has shelves so it works perfect.

Not sure on it out preforming a Corsair H80i, but it is a lot easier to install. I have great temps with a Q9770 processor. At idle I'm running in the mid 30'sC for a temp. and when I get to working it It jumps up to the mid 50's. I could lower that temp it I didn't have to have my case inside the desk.

yes, nice case. remember the board relative to the memory modules placement plus size. ie: ones with fins matter. on or two lower heat fins will pop up and not effect performance. so much safer than that liquid cooler crap. beyond the obvious potential problems that can occur and refilling pains, seen nothing great yet worth the aggravation for so little.

I checked the case specs, and it says: Clearance for top 240mm dual radiator for water cooling solutions. It looks a little tight though, and like you may not be able to use the rear fan (not a big deal when you have 2 fans from the radiator drawing out the top). I googled, and found a thread that says minor tweaking is needed (re-drill some holes, and insulate fan controller): http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1632311/corsair-h110-fit-nzxt-phantom-410-case.html

I am using the cooler master hyper 212 eevo I had to mod the case by relocating the fan on the side from the inside to the outside I did not like the other models and am very satisfied with the way it looks...I got the method from googling a search for the case and fan. On that forum the guy who did it had pics as well as instructions...I am sure anyone who builds PCs. Can figure out how to do it with out pics...good luck... floyd h

a h100i will not fit if you have high profile RAMs, its the reason im replacing it.

Mr Crosby, Although I used liquid cooling I don't think it matters as long as it's compatible with the sized processor you plan to use. Keep this in mind... I had to return two of these boards before getting on that worked correct. It's fast and worth the wight, but just wanted you to be aware. Good luck!

IT is similar to this one:Corsair CW-9060008-WW Hydro Series H80i Liquid CPU Cooler

Yes. I had a Corsair H100i in my case, you have to remove the top exhaust fan. The back panel pops off with a push of a button so you can easily get to the frame. The wiring is a little weird depending on the MB and I switched over to the Thermaltake ultra which has better compatibility with the case.

h100i radiator goes on top, it is big and it is pretty close to my board, but it fits fine, and there are two fans at the front that came with the case. overall temperature is awesome CPU at +30 and +60C when overclocked, video card +50 and +73/74C when stress usage, motherboard at +35 +45C peek temperature. This case is light and comfy it is gravy and bananas. The only complaint is front power led, its too bright so i put a small piece of blue duct tap and now its perfect. I <3 Corsair. Good luck to you good Sir.

Not likely. The case has mounting brackets in place for two 120mm fans, but the add-on of a liquid cooling system would likely infringe on the space necessary for the MOBO that hold rather tightly to the top of the system (needed because it is a mid tower case and you have to fit you power supply on the bottom).

While I don't have the h90, I did successfully install the h100 in my Graphite. Not a perfect answer, I admit; however, I'd expect Corsair units to fit Corsair cases.

I have a Corsair H90 140 mm installed. I have it exhaust out of the back side of the case. Moved the existing fan to the bottom of the case. No issues, cools great.

Yes. All you have to do is snap off the top of the case and remove the 200mm fan that comes with the Storm Stryker. There are already extra holes on top of the case that should line right up with your Corsair h100i. The Storm Stryker is a good choice if you want to install this particular CPU fan/radiator IMO.

It depends on your setup, stock you can add 3, two on the side panel and one on the bottom. I use a water cooled system so I use the rear 140 mm and turned the two led 120's to draw from the front. I have the H100i mounted in the top so up there I have two 120mm fans. The case is huge so you should have no problem keeping it cool with the stock setup.

Short answer is NO. This case does not have enough space at the top for the depth required by the H100i. The motherboard is pushed all the way up to the top of the case leaving no room for thick fans or water cooling. You should be able to fit a H80i in the rear of the case.

In my case I'm using the "Corsair h100i", I think is better have a liquid cooling.
