Fractal Design Define R4 Top Radiators

[Sernyhough]

Anyone know of any good rads that will actually fit in the top of the R4? I have a UT60 for the front.

Preferably Alphacool to match front rad; but im not too bothered.

(Standard width fans)

 

Thanks

240mm rads. 280 will not fit as there is not enough clearance for the mobo

I meant in terms of width

I use a h100i in the top of my r4 and it has a 27 mm thick radiator, and it fits pretty tight, you have to put to the far left holes in top seen from front because otherwise it will interfere with the 8 pin to the cpu. I have to vii hero mobo and i got barley 5mm in clearance so i would guess that you could use a radiator that is ca 30 mm thick depending on mobo.   

 

I think this radiator would fit, but it would be tight, i would check the clearance between the top of the chassie and the highest point of the mobo (that could interfere with the radiator)   http://www.alphacool.com/product_info.php/info/p977_Alphacool-NexXxoS-ST30-Full-Copper-240mm.html

Depends on you mobo but pretty much only a 240mm x 30mm will fit up there.

I could fit a swiftech H220 up there. It only fit fans down because of motherboard cleqrance. I did of course use the offset mounting. I'd recommend a 25-30 mm rad with high fin density. Can't remember what thicknes the h220 was but that worked.

Thank you all, i will have to have to test fit my H100 up there before purchasing a 30mm thick rad as my board will be the MSI X99 SLI Plus and the heatsinks are pretty big near the top of the board.
