Fitting H100i in HAF 912

[Getov]

Hello everyone!

 

I've read the "H100 Compatibility Thread" and some people say that HAF 912 is compatible other say that it isn't.

I own HAF 912 and by the look of it, it seems that it can only fit the radiator inside the case and the fans outside. But will it be efficient if I configure it that way ?

 

I was thinking of unplugging the tubes from the rad , so I install the fans inside and the rad outside, and then plug them back, but I am not sure if that's possible (and if it is it will end the warranty most likely).

 

I hope you can share your ideas on how to deal with the installation.

I believe that that is the best way to keep the radiator dust free with the fans on the outside

 

On the subject of unplugging the tubes you will void your warranty for sure and it will be hard to do it and not have leaks or other problems

if you unplug the tubes you won t be able to fill the rad afterwards without adding a reservoir.

You mean to mount them so they pull air from inside the case through the rad ? 

Won't it be better to pull air from outside, although it will collect lots of dust ?

Exactly. This way it's a lot easier to clean

Unless you also put in filters it will collect an immense amount of dust on the rad

At the 3:50 mark you'll see why it's easier to clean

Oh, yea, I remember that video :D
I might be getting h100i in the future, but I need someone to confirm that the rad will fit without drilling additional holes.

I don't feel like moding the case unless it is really needed
