Swiftech H220 in a Fractal Define R4?
[update after installation]
Hi,
Just wanted to jump back in and update the thread after the installation. So to sum up, I bought a i7-4790k, an ASUS Maximus VII Hero and a Swiftech H220 and tried to mount the H220 in the top spot. It didn't fit no matter how I tried it. I'm not an expert with radiators, in fact this was my first radiator installation. I tried with the tubes on both sides, tried switching the fans to pull, and even tried to offset it as much as I could but the rad or the fans never had enough room. The top spot on the Hero VII has 2 USB ports and 1 PS/2 combo port. The rad always blocked against this module. I actually ended up mounting the H220 in the front everything went well that way when I removed the drive cages.
This was also my real first OC experience (never had a very good CPU before) and I got my 4790k to 4.8Ghz @ 1.29v, all that at 70c under load with ambient temp at 31c. Really glad of the results even though the H220 installation didn't go as planned.
Hope this will help someone else!
