NZXT s340 AIO Options

[TrifectaIII]

My build specs in the sig.

 

So I'm looking to do my yearly upgrade soon, where I spend a few hundred dollars to improve my rig in some way. Right now, I'm looking at upgrading my case and getting a 240mm AIO cooler. My plan is to upgrade my s340 to an nxzt h440, as I love the overall design of my current case, but am looking to the h440 for better radiator support and a better color theme (my current black/red s340 doesn't really go with my other components), as well as the noise dampening aspects. 

 

In particular, the h440 supports 2 360mm/280mm radiators at the same time, one in the top and one in the front. Unfortunately, due to availability issues with where I live, I may end up not being able to get the h440 for a while, but I'd still like to get the AIO soon.

 

This brings me to my question: My current s340 only supports 1 dual fan rad and that's in the front; a 240 mm rad can be positioned with the tubes coming out from the bottom or the top of the rad. But what i'm worried about is tube length. Due to the strange dimensions of my motherboard (it isn't full atx, it's a little thinner) my cpu socket and the front fan positions seem a little far away to me, and I'm wondering if anybody knows whether or not most 240mm aios will have tube lengths that will fit in my rig with some slack to spare, as I obviously don't want taut tubes all the time. And if it's hard to judge something like that, does anybody know which 240mm aios have tubes on the longer side?

Get an H100i GTX

I used to own the H440 and had zero issues with tubing length. I had the Kraken x61 if that helps and frankly I had a fair amount of tubing to spare. Heck, even in my new full tower case they still got some slack (had them on both top and front in the H440). From what I've seen, most tubing can fit comfortably inside a mid-tower case, which is what the H440 is. Hope that was somewhat of an answer for ya.

i'm sure the h100i gtx will work 100%

 

i have a kraken x61 and i could mount my cpu block to the back of the case thats how long the tubes are.

Cool, ty guys

i have a h110 gtx and it barely fits in the front of the case, but it fits.
