Ultimatium Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 RAMGUY & REDBEARD told me that they were able to fit the H50 inside the 800D using an Evga Classified motherboard. However, this is physically impossible. I even tried removing the rubber grommet, no luck. The H50 radiator will just bend the classified tower heatsink if i try to slide it down. What should i do? right now i can't really use the H50 for anything at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob2701 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Your saying you cannot attach the radiator to the middle fan position on the top? What is the exact model of your motherboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only can it be done, there are multiple ways to do it ;): The easiest way with a stock unit and single fan is to install the radiator first without the MOBO in the case. Then add the MOBO, and then the fan or fans. If you use 2 fans, you may have to trim the 2nd fan as seen HERE. Also, there are several MOUNTING ALTERNATIVES also.

Bob2701 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 What are you talking about? The model for my motherboard is Evga Classified E760. Trying to help you... If you are worried about space you could always set the fan as exhaust and mount it in the top of the case. There is a ton of room there, even with 2 fans in push/pull.

Bob2701 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 No, i can't. Occupied for Black Ice GTX 360. Sorry. You should have included that information in your first post. You made it seem like you had a stock H50 which would not fit due to your motherboard. As per Yellowbeard's post it will still fit, maybe a little tighter.

I don't understand instruction. Do you want me to switch the places between the radiator and the fan :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob2701 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Are you using 1 fan or 2? Looking at Yellowbeard's picture 1 fan should fit without a problem. Maybe even turn the rad so the ports are toward the top if they don't interfere with the Black Ice. If 2 fans and you are worried about cutting the corner on the fan then think about mounting 1 fan outside the case. If you are setting it up as intake as Corsair recommends then think about adding a filter. Much easier to clean a filter than the rad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowbeard Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 If you mount the H50 and a single fan inside the case, the northbridge heatsink/LED readout may touch against the H50. However, I done this more than once and it fits. Also, did you read THIS AT ALL? It can be done. It just depends on which way you want to do it.

However, I done this more than once and it fits. This is exactly what i did and the H50 is clearly having physical contact with the northbridge heatsink, plus it is bending it while providing extreme pressure.

Once again, did you read the doc I linked? I'm assuming you were referring to me, and not Redbeard???? 1. You can change the order of the fan and radiator. Mount radiator first, then fan. Trim the fan if it is touching the sink. 2. Mount fan outside case, radiator inside. The list goes on......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to mount the fan outside my sleek Corsair 800D case, sorry. Yes i read the doc you linked to. It only contained information about how to mount the fans outside the case or on top of the case, either options are not valid in my case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok mate thanks. That seems to be the only solution available. I will definitely try it and return back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimatium Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 I changed positions of the fan and radiator as advised. However, it didn't do any difference, the fan is now touching the the heatsink. I had to trim off the left corner of the fan to make it fit. The result is ugly. I can't live with it looking like this. I am sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
