H100i in Carbide 500r - fan configuration

Hello everyone, 

 

 

   I recently bought a 500r and dumped the old microATX mobo and E5200 dual core in it (will get a Haswell 4670k upgrade soon i hope :D ).

 

  So i know the h100i fits 100% on top of the case (under the mesh cover) and inside the case mount some 120mm/140mm - maybe one 140 on the right and one 120 on the left mount to leave room for pump/hose - push configuration)    http://imgur.com/uqSKeY0  (120 140 bot red - hoses green top)

i hope i didn't break any rules*

   metal mount                                 - |-- ---------- ------

   maybe one 120 and one 140         |   \120/  \140/

                                                          |

                                                           | hose

Question is:

   Do i have room for a push pull?

If you have the case you can measure it.

 

A fan is 25mm thick. This is a standard apart for a few exceptions.

 

The H100i raditor is 27mm thick.

 

You can probably do the math yourself. ;)

Measure from the metal part in the top to your mobo, if there is more than 53 cm, you have room.
