Can I fit an NZXT Kraken G10 on an R9 380?

Samartly

First post, please excuse any bad etiquette

So I bought this a little while ago (an XFX Radeon R9 380 4GB):

And I really want to put a Kraken G10 on it, so I can get some more use out of an old Corsair H100i, but I cannot find whether the R9 380 is compatible. I saw that almost all the R9 200 series is compatible, and I feel like if it's compatible with the 280, it would also be compatible with the 380. I don't want to assume anything, so plz halp.

@byalexandr he put a CM Sedion on a 290 and he might have ideas on how to best do this.

The H100i won't fit the Kraken G10, however the G10 is pretty much universal with some exceptions (your card is not one of them). So you can fit the G10 on your card but you're going to have to get an Asetek cooler, as the H100i is a custom block design from Corsair. You could use some zip ties or even a custom bracket, however your best option is to sell or trade the H100i and get a Kraken X61 or a similar cooler with an Asetek mounting design. As @The_Stig mentioned, I have installed a cooler similar to the Seidon 120M on my R9 290 reference, however it is a rare case that the holes on the cooler matched up with the mounting holes on my card. I don't think that's the case with your card, especially with the H100i.

Follow your own topics btw, that way we don't have to quote you to get your attention.
