Clearance Worries

Hey, I am building a new system and was wondering if I will have enough clearance between my RAD/fans and my mother board, I will be buying the Corsair h100i, a Asus sabertooth z97 mark 1 and the case will be a fractal design define r4 and I will only be planning to use two fans on the RAD.

 

Cheers.

It should be fine. The R4 has offset mounting holes for this very scenario.

this is generally what most have to do to install a 240 AIO. insteads of using the

conventional fan mounts, you'll have to use the "make-shift" holes of the mesh

for mounting the radiator:

this would be the extreme to modifying a R4 roof to accommodate a 240 radiator:
