rgray318 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) Hello again, I am replacing my Fathers H80i inside his Antec 1200 v1. His two rear fans are just a few millimeters from the top of his case and I was never able to get the H80i installed into the top rear 120mm fan mount. So, on the new H100i RGB Plat I would like to know exactly how many millimeters above the fan does the Radiator protrude. In the pictures it looks like it sticks out at least an inch? Is this true? The Rad on the H80i was literally about 2 mm too high. How high is this H100i Rad protruding out? Image below of what I mean. Thanks EDIT: Also, can I leave the H80i's mounting hardware as it is, or do I need to use the H100i's new hardware for the same socket?

Corsair Mike Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) Hi rgray318, From the edge of the housing to the top of the bracket that the fan mounts into is about 1.5cm. The Platinum coolers use different mounting hardware for the CPU so you will have to swap it out for the new hardware. Hope that helps, good luck with the build! Edit: Wrong units sorry.

rgray318 Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 Hi rgray318, From the edge of the housing to the top of the bracket that the fan mounts into is about 1.5mm. The Platinum coolers use different mounting hardware for the CPU so you will have to swap it out for the new hardware. Hope that helps, good luck with the build! Thanks Mike for the reply, but the area I circled in red clearly looks FAR FAR more than 1.5mm. It looks closer to 25mm to 30mm to me. If not, then all of your pictures of this product are wrong. Below is a picture of my H80i and it clearly sticks up above the fan housing by 14mm. Surely the H100i isn't only 1.5mm. Here is the current clearance for the H80i, it is exactly 14mm. But I need to know how far the H100i RGB Platinum sticks up past the fan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 1.5 cm or 15 mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgray318 Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 1.5 cm or 15 mm. OK, thanks Mike. I didn't catch the cm part for some reason, sorry. Wow, that is far shallower than what it looks like in the pics (to me), but OK good to know. Sadly, we don't have that much clearance (only about 11 or 12mm max is my guess), so I guess I have to break out the dremel and mod the Case, or mount the rad in the front of this Antec 1200, which I really didn't want to do. Thanks again Rod EDIT: Yeah you did say 1.5mm, not 1.5cm. But that's OK, thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Mike Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) Sorry, that was a typo, it is 1.5 cm. Here is a pic of the measurement Edited November 20, 2019 by Corsair Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
