Problem with new build

MissChief · 10 Dec 2016 at 13:25

I'm finally getting my 8pack black Friday i7 machine together but have encountered a problem.

With the aio cooler in place at the top of the case (thermaltake Versa C22) and the fans attached to the chassis there isn't enough clearance for the motherboard power and some other headers to connect. I will try and get a picture, but any advice while I do so?

I had a similar issue... I ended up fitting the rad to the chassis and cutting a corner off of one of the fans to fit around it.

Will the fans fit above the radiator in the roof ? Or is there room at the front of the case for the AIO ?

I think I will need to front mount it, there's just not enough space in the top for the rad and fans too. I was hoping for a push through the top but will have to settle for a pull through the front.

Ok, put the rad on the front, fans first then the rad so it's still 'push' just into the case rather than out. If I have open vents at the top and a single 120mm exhaust fan at the back will that be enough?

Edit all installed. No graphics, PSU or mechanical hard disc yet.
