Full loop in a 250D

Hey guys,

 

So I'm looking at getting the 250D to replace my Prodigy (assuming this will work), and I'm looking into keeping it as silent as possible. This means CPU/GPU in full WC loop. The 250D supports the 240mm radiators as we all know, but the dilemma I face at the moment is having an ASUS motherboard with a PCB riser. I've looked into it as much as I can from videos but I just can't find sturdy evidence of a 30mm rad with 25mm fans, installed with a MB with a riser board, touching.

 

The best I've found is TastyPC's video where she had a whinge about it installed with a Noctua fan in push config, and said there was noises and whatnot.

 

My question is this:

 

Has anyone in the LTT community built into a 250D yet? Have they encountered the same issues as this? If I were to put the fans in a pull config, would the radiator pressing up against the PCB riser cause heat issues?

 

 

I realise the H100i fits nice and snug, and that is my last resort (behind getting GELID 15mm fans, which I'm not too keen on).

A H100i is 27mm thick, not 30mm. This is a huge distance if it was touching and causing issues with a H100i.

Sorry mate, should have been clearer - TastyPC installed a standard 30mm rad with 25mm fans and that would trouble, whereas the 27mm H100i fits in nicely. I don't really want to go down that course as I don't want the GPU fan whine.
