It seems like the R5 just isn't great with top 280 rads. Most with H110's seem to be installing them in the front.

 

Rear fan clearance - barely any:

Hello. Could you still mount a 140x25mm fan at the rear with a setup like the picture above?

If not, can a 120x25mm could fit?

Thanks!

 

EDIT: And also what if your motherboard got an I/O shield like this image below. Would the radiator not fit? Pictures from someone at Corsair forums.

I am really not sure because there's just so many different configurations of possible hardware like motherboards and fans.

 

Long story short, if you must use an AIO rad mounted at the top, save yourself the trouble and go for a dual 120 instead of a dual 140.

@PlayModeOn hi im just about finish my build today so will upload a pic for you to look at but to answer you question about the 120 in the back i had to cut the slots in the back by 5mm to get the 120mm to fit and it is very close . But the I/O shield at the back is not a problem as the rad is offset to the front so it is fine in that respect hope this helps and i will upload a pic of the rad with fans and the 120 back fan for you to look at . And Thanks for the help by the way @Aniallation

Hello thanks for the reply.

 

I am not actually worried about the rear I/O shield that has the holes for the connectors, I am worried about the I/O shield "armour" that sits on top of the motherboard.. For example, look at ASRock's new Z170 motherboards....

 

Z170%20Gaming%20K6_k.jpg

 

As you can see in the top left corner that the I/O shield is elevated taller than the PS/2 connector horizontally not vertically.

Unfortunately motherboards with these kind of I/O shield is getting more and more popular which is bad news for people who wants a 280 rad in their Define R5 on top :(

 

Another example is ASUS Z97 TUF, the shield armour is taller than the USB connectors on the left.

Excellent! Thanks for the help.

 

Though I'll probably go with a Fractal S24 watercooler because the H110i GT does not exist anymore because they have been recalled (unless a new 280 comes out before the end of the year) but thank you for the confirmation.

@PlayModeOn I have not heard anything about them being recalled ( H110i GT ) do you know why they have been recalled ?

Most H110i GT has been recalled because they leak at certain temperature and the pump may produce a grinding noise at times. Many of them were shipped dead on arrival.

H110i GTX is now available. I'd look into that if OP is concerned. Maybe they renamed it to avoid all association with the leakage issues of the GT.

@vembutech yes you can fit it by moving it forward but the tubes on the h110i gt are so long that moving it forward just makes them even longer as the rad is straight on top of the block ,its not a problem just if you have a gpu in the top slot of the motherboard its a little hard to not have the tubes sat on top of the GPU :-) ive manage to fit my one it just fine but thanks for all the help

Hello. Sorry this is a late reply but I am getting the H110i GTX (not GT) some time this week and I do want to include the 120mm fan at the rear. I just want to ask what tool did you use to extend the fan hole sliders at the rear for your 120mm fan? Thanks!

 

My father said just use metal cutter scissors which is simple and inexpensive. What do you think?

When I make a post, unless I am the original poster or ask for a reply, don't bother replying or quoting me because I don't read them.
