So i bought a Raidmax Cobra a couple months back,and i finally got a motherboard to go with it(MSI 970 Gaming). And i plan to go with Water cooling in this case.(Either a H100i or H105,which one should i do). Yes i know it's a $60 case,but help me out a bit. Anyways, it looks like there so clearance issues with the case and motherboard. I have the 15mm of space that corsair says you need for the h100i. But the 8-Pin CPU power cable management hole is COVERED by the board. I'm almost ready to buy a new case. Someone please give a answer

Buy a new case:

 

Phanteks Enthoo Pro.

 

After that, switch over to Intel if your priority is gaming.

Either get a new case from a trusted brand, like NZXT, Phanteks, Fractal, etc.

 

Or you just need to leave the cable out in plain sight, if possible.

You need 52mm for an H100...
