Hifen Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Hello all. I've recently bought some components to build a pc, however im getting some issues placing them all in the case. The water cooler i've bought is supposed to be attached to the top of the case. However, when i do that, the fans attached to the radiator start to hit the RAM modules, and i cant finish the instalation. If i move the radiator to the front of the case, the fans hit the GPU also. I've been searching, and it should all fit without any problems. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to put the radiator and the fans on the top of the case without smashing the RAM modules? Thanks in advance. The specs are the following: MotherBoard : Asus ROG Z390 E-Gaming Water Cooler : Hydro Series H100i RGB PLATINUM 240mm Liquid CPU Cooler Case : Carbide Series SPEC-DELTA RGB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Mike Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Hi Hifen, You can mount the radiator either way, it just depends on how you want to set up your PC. What GPU and which kit of ram are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c-attack Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 You’ve got tall RAM and a long GPU. Both are going to be obstacles on any compact mid-size case. The GPU length is probably millimeter close. If you had standard height memory or a standard length GPU, it would fit in either location. However, since you won’t be swapping either of those, it makes sense to change the case instead. Watch out on any mid-size case. The shallow top design is very common across the industry. You may get better results with front mount anyway, but with a 30mm radiator thickness to factor in, you will need more than 330mm in clearance with the 300mm GPU.

Hifen Posted November 22, 2019 Author Share Posted November 22, 2019 So, lets say that I'm going to change the RAM. Is there any that you guys recommend that would be smaller and have some identical specs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
