I can see that they installed a 240mm radiator h100i, but can it support a 280mm radiator? I have a kraken x60 280mm radiator...

You can fit either a 2x 120mm rad and a 2x 140mm rad (it's nice because there are lots of holes in the roof to many accommodate different setups). With the 280mm rad be sure to shave the tubing to the rear because you could not fit anything into the 5.25" bays. If you are interested in a full custom water cooling loop, if you take out both the front hdd and ssd cages you can fit a nexxos monsta rad. Hope this helps!

I have a corsair h110 sitting in there no problem. Its a little bit tight but it fits snug and hides nicely. If your going to install a 280mm radiator make sure you install the motherboard and the processor first and then install the fans on the radiator and then install the radiator (with fans attached) into your case and hook it all up. You should be good.

On the top or front location? I looked up the specs and it looks a little tight. On the top location, it looks like the 5.25" bay rails might be in the way. The front didn't look like it would fit at all.

Yes, this case can support up to two 280mm radiators. One radiator can be installed at the top of the case, and another can be installed at the front of the case after removing the 3.5" and 2.5" drive bay cages. Very thick radiators might come into contact with the motherboard if placed at the top of the case, but something like the Kraken x60 or H100i should not cause you any issues.

The X31 utilizes a 120mm radiator platform to deliver the widest range of compatibility of any of our Kraken liquid coolers, making it compatible with any NZXT case available today and nearly all of our competitor's.

Hi There is only space for a 240 mm radiator when installed on the top mesh panel and 120 mm fan on the rear panel. Jim

Hi,its not recommended to change the radiator. The cooling capacity should be enough for any graphics card. Best regards,Jens

I did fit an H100i in this case, but it doesn't fit well. I had to relocate the rear fan to one of the side vents, and my motherboard (Asus Z97 Pro) has risers around the CPU that prevent the H100i from fitting where it's intended to go on the top vent. So I had to attach it with screws through the top vent grille instead of through the screw holes. It fits, but it's a little cockeyed and not where it's intended to be.

Honestly I think the H100i is the biggest you can fit without modifying the case. It's a tight squeeze with fans mounted on the Radiator.

I'm not sure. Unless a heat sync is right next to the CPU to the point where the base can not attach to the board. Only problem is if your case can house the 280 radiator.

Yes, I have a Kraken x61 mounted in mine. One of the best cases I've ever had to work with.

You can fit a 25mm thick radiator between the motherboard and case top. The radiator can be up to 120mm x 240mm (it is specially made to fit the Corsair H100-series radiators). The fans sit between the case and the top bezel for your airflow. It is recommended that you use fans the same size as the radiator, because fans that are bigger will pull air from the sides of the radiator and not cool it off too well. Another thing you can do is put a 120mm square radiator where the back case fan is. That fan position has no clearance issues, so you can do push-pull on a radiator there with the fans.

I have 4 of these on a H100i and haven't had any problems. You should return it and get a replacement. There is always a chance that a part will be defective. It is just how lucky you are. Corsair is still the way to go. These fans rock. Or the CoolerMaster JetFlo

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

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.

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.

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.

Here are the official radiator options supported:Top: 2x 140mm or 3x 120mm (Note: if a 3x120mm radiator is installed the top external 5.25" drive bay cannot be used because it mounts into the bay area)Rear: 1x 140mm or 1x 120mmBottom: 2x 140mm or 2x 120mm (requires removing lower HDD rack)Interior pivot fan mount: 1x 140mm or 1x 120mmUsing the bottom mount will allow cooler air from outside the case to pass through the radiator, as opposed to the back or top mounts that typically exhausts warmer air inside the case through the radiator. Depending on your water cooling system and ambient room temperature, this can help keep the coolant temperature lower.

No, 140mm fans will not fit in the top of this case. The X60's radiator is just two 140mm fans together, so it will not fit either. Find a larger case or a smaller all in one water cooling system.

I installed a Seidon 240M with dual fans on the top. It was very difficult to keep the fan that came with the case also on the top. If you just want to use the two 120mm water cool fans and remove fan that came with the case you will have no issues at all. I just wanted all 3 and was a bit difficult and needed unique set up.
