AIO - could I?/Should I?

So i'm looking at getting this case

Could/should i mount a Corsair H115 plus the 980ti radiator in the roof vents?

Would putting the 980ti's radiator and fan in place of the rear case fan cause issues?

Yes you can. Yes you should.

I ran an aio (h105) in the roof and then my Fury X rad in the rear fan place. Never had any temp issues when using overclocks and stuff. A lovely looking case too, my brother is using it now.

Wouldn't have them both in the roof, it'll look messy!

As Sam said, put the CPU rad in the roof of the case and GPU rad in the rear. I'd also add that it's best to mount any HDD's low down, then remove all of the unused HDD trays from the front of the case to improve airflow through.

Thanks - the plan was 2 HDDs in the lowest 2 bays, SSD in the dedicated SSD trat, along with an NZXT+ then an M2 drive on the board

You could save a shed load of money and buy this.

i'm not a big fan of the blue LED fans, but i guess swapping those out would still be cheaper?

For the £50 saving I would gladly put up with blue LED's that is unless your build a system with a particular colour scheme and the blue would ruin the look.

Silverstone AIO dont have LEDS, are cheap and the fan blades are white which might go well with that case even though you probably wont ever see the fans unless you are down looking up into the window.

If I was you go for Asetek unit as I use in my bundles and on my test benches. By far the best value to performance AIO around. Premium and easy fit retention bracket also. Clear instructions in my guides on any of the bundle pages. Silverstone quiet and very High Static Pressure water cooling fans as standard.

Now I would have suggested that also (i have one here and it is quiet, no lights either).

But when I look at the AIO page, it shows all out of stock,

So i guess that needs fixing on the shop.
