How hard do you think it would be to mount both a H100i and a water cooling kit for a GeForce 780?

If you mounted the GFX cooler on the side panel you should be able to fit it. The H100i takes up the entire top grate on mine. Personally I wouldn't want to mount anything to the side panel as it is also the door. You may want to consider a smaller CPU cooler and possibly place both fans on the top, or a system that does all in one.

I have been able to fit a Primochill 120mm in the case, but removed it and put in a single bay xspc reservoir. For the radiator, since my two 7970 Ghz cards are quite big and cool real well I only have a single 120mm rad for my fx8350. But at one point I had a 240mm rad plus the 120mm rad and thought about considering a dual 80mm for the bottom two fan ports. But, I wouldn't see much possibility of putting in a bigger rad in than 240mm. But if you are good with aerodynamics, or understand a lesser extent air flow, then you should be fin with one 240mm and the additional 120mm. Maybe a little equipment possibilities would also clear up my blurriness of what you would like to run, game wise, and to run, hardware wise. It is a great case and have run everything from Crysis to AC Unity to BF4 and have never gotten above 40c on my cpu or 65c on either of my crossfired cards. But, a little more info from you could clear things up. Plus I could upload a picture to give you somewhat spacial considerations. And it can fit a 1200ax power supply...little bit cramped but have yet to have problems. -some AMD Aficionado...

I mean it might depends on what CPU you have but I would avoid since the mounting and fitting will be difficult.

Not likely. The case has mounting brackets in place for two 120mm fans, but the add-on of a liquid cooling system would likely infringe on the space necessary for the MOBO that hold rather tightly to the top of the system (needed because it is a mid tower case and you have to fit you power supply on the bottom).

It should accommodate that card fine although you may have to remove one of the drive cages to accommodate, there's a secondary mount for crossfire/SLI cards. I'd be more concerned about where the radiators go. Google and see if anyone else has this install.

Corsair H100i but this case is made for custom loops I am running 1 alphacool 480 monsta, alphacool 240mm rad, and a 240mm and 480mm ek. I have dual loops one loop for my tri sli gtx 780ti and another for my 4930k, ram, and motherbard with all ek blocks. This case is huge if that gives you a idea how large this thing is.

depends on your setup. watercooled with h100i intake front,back,side, exhaust top. With something like a evo 212. intake front. exhaust back. intake side. 1 fan top intake.

Cable management is the issue with this case. That GeForce card will take up quite a bit of the available space for cables. You also will need to measure the height of the stock cooler on the processor and may need to use a low profile cooler. Bottom line: It can be done but be ready for a challenge.

Yes i would say with the stock fans you can get adequate airflow any standard system. IT however has a very tight fit with the cool-master 120m water cooling system and don't recommend using the cooler if you plan to force air out of the back. The top mount were good but for my configuration those were blocked.

a h100i will not fit if you have high profile RAMs, its the reason im replacing it.

There's no way the H100i will fit.BUTI was able to fit a Corsair h60 Corsair Hydro Series High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler H60 with this motherboard ASUS P8Z77-M LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard The only thing though was that it needed a lot of wiggling around and it wasn't able to be screwed onto the case. It's pretty much free flowing near the back left of the fan window. Surprising enough it has been working for the last 3 months no problem with no vibration.

This case is big and it can take whatever you trhow at it. The cool part is that it has enough room to support all kinds of water cooling, for example i use a h100i and it still has room for like 2-3 gtx 780s. If you get this case, it will serve you well and darn sturdy. Just its bigger than normal but its because it was built to take heavy builds and water crazy cooling.

Yes. I had a Corsair H100i in my case, you have to remove the top exhaust fan. The back panel pops off with a push of a button so you can easily get to the frame. The wiring is a little weird depending on the MB and I switched over to the Thermaltake ultra which has better compatibility with the case.

Yes! I just did a build with an H100i in this case. Works perfectly, almost.I am not sure how Stefan had to modify. I installed the radiator on top with fans below. The case is designed for a 240mm radiator to fit. The only complaint I have is that the screw heads on top don't sit totally flush with the magnetic air filter, but you don't really notice unless you are looking close.

I am personally using the Corsair H100i system for mine that I am currently in the process of building, i am also geting the same processor and motherboard as you also. The Corsair system may be you best bet

You have a couple of options here. 1.Top fan can be use, with a splitter at the CPU head. However I did not. Because I want the CPU header to just control my H100i. 2. Find the nearest MB header, for top and bottom fan. That in itself depends on your board, and the number of headers, while trying to maintain great cable management. My setup is a h100i push/pull on top and a 120 mm fan on bottom. Hope that helps you out. Just remember that this case is a airflow dream. I love it. Filling all the slots, may not be necessary.

Yes, you can mount up to a 120mm fan at the front, although the aperature is just about right for a 92mm fan. I've got that one synchronized on the PWM fan speed control with the CPU fan in my case. My photo gallery includes a photo of the access vents on top with 120mm mounting holes. You can see the heatpipe CPU cooler fan is pushing air upwards, and another fan is exhausting out the back of the case. That's the only direction I could mount that CPU cooler, but it means the fan-blade weight plus the fan friction are both pulling down against the bearing. It will probably be the first fan I'll have to replace!
