By the looks of this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbXiMJh3ZZA) it would be a very tight fit & would depend a lot on what's at the top of your motherboard (the H100i is about the same size as the H100)
I bodged mine (original H100 with an R3, not R4) in because the Sabertooth Z77 has a huge shroud on it which meant it was impossible to get it to line up with the back screw holes. As mentioned above, it depends heavily on your mobo.
I've been running mine for 6 months, ''bolted'' in with 4 cable ties, it works beautifully, still. ;)
PS: This was a pic during the build, so yes, it's untidy. I was going to be replacing the PSU a week after. .
I have a GA-X58A-UD3R, I will crack my case open on the weekend and do some measuring up as I really want one of these. I can alway opt for the H80i which is not far off the H100i :)
I plan to put mine in my current case (CM690II Advanced) - I'm going to put the radiator in the roof cavity and the fans inside the case acting as exhausts - for me I won't fit the radiator and the fans inside the case...
Was tempted by this but it'll involve a bit of work to fit it in the Zalman Z11 case I just got, not decided yet whether to go with the Silver Arrow Extreme or try a bit of modding!
Might be time for Bit tech to invest in a bigger case for CPU Coolers like this one as i wonder how it would perform inside a case compared to outside were its getting fresh air constantly.
I've cut holes on the roof of my Fractal XL to accommodate the H100 6 months ago...
with a i7 3870 overclocked to 4.6Ghz it works flawlessly. In the meantime I've swapped the fans for a noctua NF-F12 and the thing is whisper quiet
I can only thing of good things to say about my H100, hopefully this one is better

ReplyThis (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqLxS38SCVA) shows that it might fit in the front...
Awesome results btw!
Can't wait for mine to arrive now.
