little help please

i have the haf 922 and a p5q deluxe awsome setup in my eyes but i want to water cool but if a put a rad in it wont fit right as it would touch the mosfet heat sink so what i thought is just to put the rad at the top and the fans underneath it and just put a gasget between the rad and case would this cause any problems? thanks in advance

Cant work out what you're saying. If it's just touching, doesn't matter. If its forcing the mosfet out of the way, that's not good.

if you're not so good with words, could you draw us a picture?

google image search show your case with a 360 in the roof

Official coolermaster faq says PA120.2 with fit without modification

are you using 38mm fans? as there looks like lots of room (don't know how much case was modifided at achive image)

 

[JonJ678]

Assuming you're using fans as intake and lower than 200rpm fans, the second way would cool better. Gasket not really needed, Id suggest gasket between fans and radiator if anywhere, and a line of pvc tape sealing the radiator against the case.

If it'll fit, even if only on some of the fans, a hollowed out old dead fan between the fan and the radiator will improve performance nearly as much as a working fan on the other side. If money isn't an issue, feser sell some clear shrouds which light up different colours and work exactly the same as a dead fan with the hub and spokes removed.
