The problem with this case is it doesn't look like those are the standard 15mm spacing between the two fans. You would need to check that. That is pretty much a water cooling standard. and i would NOT use a X60 on this - look at how little airflow you get - would be restrictive. Only use the X60 if you have true 140mm ventalition. Those fan cutouts aren't even proper 120mm vents. :)

No you won't be able to, I had this problem on my old NZXT Lexa S, you either need to drill new holes or I did hear some people talking about some sort of 140mm to 120mm adapter for fan mounts like yours and most NZXT cases have on top.

I'd be more concerned about the lack of space before looking at the actual spacing of the radiator mounts.

I've just had a quick look at the inside of that chassis and to me it looks like you have about 5mm of clearance from the top of your motherboard to the bottom of the premounted 25mm fan. The H100 rad is a bit thicker than this. I then wondered if the fan mountings were stood away from the motherboard mounting tray which it doesn't look like they are.

So while yes you could do a little bit of machining to get the rad to fit you would either have to fit the radiator (fragile) or the fans (ugly) externally on top of the case.

Why not move everything into the Fractal Arc Midi and save another month or so and do it properly??

Cheers

i also put the fans on the top of the case, when i installed my h100, looks pretty ridicoulous and theres about 5mm space between the fans and the radiator and im looking forward to get a new case soon cause i cant get optimum cooling
