Antec 1200 Fitting kuhler 620 or Intel cooler .

Hi Just needing to check that a Kuhler 620 or the intel cooler will fit inside the antec 1200 case . Does anyone have a closed watercooler set up , Or any that do ?
IM concerned that The radiator with its reservoir moulded lump will not fit on the top 120mm exhaust fan , because of the top fan , Also the second one lower rear 120mm sits right on top of the graphics card .
If nt is there an alternative , or should I look for a full W/C kit can recommend .
Many thanks .

The inside of your case should be the same as the one I used here - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18321177

Interesting , cheers . Studying your picture , your graphics card sits a cm or so lower than mine , which gives you that extra space for that sump type mould on the radiator .
Mine has about half that space , I think because im using a mini atx at the moment ,
Though the reason I wanted one was because I was upgrading and interested in a gigabyte board ud4 or ud3 type 1155 socket .
Think thats what yours is ?

Yeah thats the one im interested in for my build at the moment , your pics looked similar .
What iv got at the moment is a mini atx board think it just a fraction less gap between the graphics card and the bottom of the lower exhaust fan .
Having it on the upper fan looks like it will be impeded by the top fan housing .

In that case you can kinda fit it between the two fan spaces. it does work but its by no means ideal

Thats an idea , something i aint thought of , not ideal , but a cack handed solution none the less , Since then iv pondered the idea of fitting it in one of the drive bays front fan space .
Since Im using a 6790 twin forza 13 inch card , Iv vacated that middle section , because of huge card , wonder if thats possible .
I want one not so much for the overclocking all though I hope to at some point , But iv seen the huge drop in temperature achievable in my other pc "s graphics card , giving more scope for overclocking .
Having the CPU heat pumped directly out the back is so much more efficient than loads of fans whirling it around inside .
