As the title says, I'm currently looking for something to replace my h100i. The biggest issue is space, I had to remove one of the fans on the h100 to fit a msi rtx 2070.

Max cpu cooler height is 160mm according to Inwins site

 

The current coolers I've been looking at are the Phanteks ph-tc12dx, Arctic Freezer 33 esports edition, or something like the deepcool captain 120ex. 

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Stuff a Noctua NH-D15S in there. It comes with a single fan (second fan can't fit anyways because of RAM compatibility, unless you mount it at horizontally), and I can fit one in my S340 Elite which also quotes a max cooler height of 160mm.

NZXT's specs for the S340 Elite:

My NH-D15S (with chromax fan, same size as the stock one) in my S340 Elite (side panel fits on fine with a few mm of clearance):

Should juuuuust fit and it's pretty much the best air cooler you can stuff in there, other than the Thermalright LGR RT:

Which is 159mm tall vs the 160mm an NH-D15S is with a single fan.

Not to mention the H80I is thicc as hell

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

The Arctic Freezer 33 eSports Edition is the dual fan one, it's the 33 eSports One that only has the one fan, I own that model with the one fan.

Can you measure the clearance available between the rad and the graphics card? You might be able to fit a slim 15mm fan instead like the NF-A12x15. 

I'm not entirely sure but you might be able to mount fans on the outside of the front panel fan bracket as well.

There's only a 3 mm gap between the radiator and the gpu. As for mounting the fans on the other side, you can but you run into the same issue that the wall-mart pc had. 3-4 mm air gap.

What are your temps? It still might be worth sticking with the current cooler unless you want to shell out for a large air cooler since it should still be at least as good as a 120mm rad with a single fan. 

Is there anything behind the solid front panel? There seems to be almost ~23mm of clearance after installing a 15mm fan in front of the rad.

Temps are in the upper 60's to low 70's while playing bf4, upper 20's to low 30's idle. 

Yeah, I was wrong.. There's a 28.5mm gap between the front of the case and fan mount. With a standard fan installed it leaves a 9.5mm gap for air. 

 

After looking online, seems most people mount the fans between the front panel and radiator as exhaust fans...
