Water cooler not fit on the case

Dear friends,

 

I'm setting up a PC with all new brand pieces and I'm facing a problem fitting the Water cooler in my case with my mobo.

 

Water Cooler NOX Hummer H-240ARGB, 240mm, RGB - NXHUMMERH240ARGB

Case Gamer NOX Hummer TGM, RGB Rainbow, 4 Fan - NXHUMMERTGM

Motherboard MSI MORTAR MAX B450M

 

The WC can fit because there is the memory slot on the same place. Do you guys have any suggestion?

I was wondering to get a 120mm WC, but i think won't fit because of the VRAM heatsink.

I need to install the WC on top because there is already 3 fans in the case.

If there is no option, what you think installing the WC up the VRM heatsink replacing the fan that cames with the case?

You can just remove the fans in the front of the case and install the radiator there, which looks like it is basically your only option right now if you want to go water cooling. Doesn't look like it is going to be possible to fit the radiator in the top. You can use some of the fans from the front of the case in the top of the case if you want to keep using them.

Thank you @RONOTHAN## for your time!

 

My case has a glass front, if I install the WC there, do you think there is gonna be any problem exhausting the hot air?

Put fans on the top of the case where you WERE gonna put the radiator.  Your GPU is gonna run hotter, so keep an eye on that.  Get good fans for the roof, make sure your PSU isn't pulling hot air from the case, and take off the glass front panel if need be.  I have a case with 3 glass panels and 16 fans (2 in GPU, 1 in PSU).  The glass panels are safely stored in a cabinet, and all fans are turned to max revolutions.  Airflow, for me, is NOT a problem.  Just get as much air moving as possible, and you won't have major issues.
