Hi,

Anybody know if a H70 will fit in this case OK?

Thanks

Yes it will fit no problem.

You'd struggle to find something that won't fit. they're huge

You may have an issue finding somewhere to mount is as there aren't a lot of 120mm fans in the XL. You could probably do it with a 120-140mm adaptor but you'll need to be really careful with the screw lengths so you don't puncture the rad, although the pipes may be long enough to run it to the front 120mm as an intake which would be ideal...

OK so will it fit "out of the box" or am I going to have to mod?

Fanatic · 20 Apr 2011 at 01:41

There are screw holes for 120mm and 140mm fans at the rear of the case.

In that case ^^ yeah straight out of the box.

Personally I'd try to run it at the front of the case as an intake if the hoses are long enough...

I fitted the H70 to a Fractal R3 refine (regular) last night. No modding or space problems

Ace Modder · 20 Apr 2011 at 16:41

No modding needed, it will fit straight in.

Great should be with me tomorrow

Has anybody with the fractal xl managed to put the h70 at the front of the case ?

Fanatic · 20 Apr 2011 at 20:57

It's a big case, tubes from the H70 won't reach that far I would have thought.

TRSjimbob · 20 Apr 2011 at 22:23

ive got the case but have never seen the h70 in person, ahh well its a shame

HEADRAT · 21 Apr 2011 at 11:29
