BitFenix Shinobi and H100?

Cythx · 29 Apr 2012 at 10:00

Anyone know if I can fit a H100 in a BitFenix Shinobi?

Is there any modding required to do so?

You should be ok, looking at the specs below, the top panel can fit 2 120mm fans.

Ya, thanks.

I know that, but I've seen people on the web struggling to fit it in the BitFenix Shinobi, so I'm looking for some more concrete answers.

Yeah, xBourne (the BitFenix rep) has said before that it won't fit.

I think it's because of the issue with motherboard clearance internally, so even if you fit the h100 in the roof you won't get a Rad in.

I'll try and find the thread where he said this.

Just found the thread...

You asked before and he said no...

Unless you do some modding, H100 is not going to fit on the Shinobi.
H80 on the Shinobi is OK.

If you can fit fans under the top panel then yes, otherwise no

Has anyone seen any mods for fitting the H100 in a BitFenix Shinobi?

Thanks.

not the h100, but I have seen ttl mod a 60mm 240 rad in the front with push pull fans

I've got a Shinobi and I really don't think there's enough clearance between the motherboard and where the rad would be to fit fans in. I've currently got fans in the top and there's pretty much no space inbetween the two.

So you've fitted a H100 in the Shinobi? If so, I think I'll buy the H100 afterall.

Edit: thought you meant you had the fans on the top of the case but below the removable cover. Meaning you put just the rad inside the case with the fans still able to push air.
