If it's just hitting the frame of the fan, then sure you can leave it there.

Hey guys, I'm building a new computer and from what I've seen and heard, the h100i will fit in a Arc Midi R2 with a Gigabyte UD3H, but when I was putting the h100i in the top, I ran into some troubles one of the fans on the h100i is making contact with the top heatsink, any recommendations? Like would it be ok to just leave it in because its plastic to metal type of connection.

 

Thanks, Swindless

Ok good, because I was worried that it would cause something, I was able to get 6 of the 8 rad screws into the top of the case so it should be good.

Yeah, that sounds alright. If the radiator's not vibrating much, then it's fine.

I made sure to get the screws as tight as I could but not over tight.

What you should be doing! You at least have the corners screwed right? So the radiator's mounted perfectly horizontally.

Then you have nothing to worry about. And thanks! Never too old for Charmander.
