Can you give us a rough idea of how many mm's of obstruction there is? Also, pics can be helpful.

Mod your case or get a different radiator?

You could get new, thinner fans. Move the fans to the outside of the case. Maybe file something down if a small piece of metal is stopping it from fitting. Try making the mounting holes longer so you can adjust where you mount the radiator.

prolly the 8-pin EPS harness is fouling the install. deffo issue of the 750D and

60mm radiators. fans on top or on bottom same conclusion, too. i wrote about

it on this thread: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/74069-update-corsair-750d-and-60mm-radiators/

 

fix: offset the radiator mounting on the roof or hack up 5.25" bays and get all

the offset you need.

I think I may be able to sand the fan a little bit. It should fit perfectly after that,
