I believe the H100i has about 30cm tubing length - but that is max legth - when mounted, tubing will be bent a bit, etc, so you will not have that much "working" length. Can you bottom mount it? Otherwise maybe a H80i to use on the rear exhaust? Or a new case? :)

I'm sorry i can't find the name of the case i just know it's an aerocool from 2006-ish and it didn't have a side panel, it had mesh on the side, im gonna give you some pictures so you can see for yourselves, regarding a new case, when i get one i want it to be a proper case that will last for a long time, specifically a 650d i've been enchanted by that case but i can't get both the case and the cooler finnacially. i thought about the h80i but for the price difference the performance of the h100i is way better, where i am it's 10€ the difference to get 6-10 degrees cooler from what i've seen on reviews so if i could i would fit an h100i instead. bottom mounting could be an option but i would've to mod the case and the tubbing may be a little tight to get to the cpu

Honestly then - get the case first... no sense trying to jam in a H100i and finding out in the end it won't fit. Get a nice case with good airflow - will probably give you better temps then what you have now. Then when you can, get your new cooler. Then you will know you will have no issues mounting it...

okay, thank you for all the feedback :) probably gonna get a 650d soon then, what are your thoughts on it while we are at it? my only concern is that the front fan is 200mm and you can't get very good 200mm fans from what i researched, can you mod so it's dual 120?

@bennyino If you're looking for decent 200mm fans then I'd like to suggest the BitFenix Spectre Pro series. They're some of the best I've seen with regards to 200mm fans.

Check them out:
