Will a H100 fit in a CM HAF 922 case?

darkthings · Mar 24, 2013

Will it fit or I am gonna have to get another cpu cooler? thanks

it would be a tight fit. you would have to attach it to either the harddrive cage or the side panel removing your 200mm fan. and then your have to be super careful removing said side panel in the future. your hdd cage be best!

Yes, you will have to remove the top mounted 200mm fan but it should fit fine.

darkthings · Mar 24, 2013

Yes I'm going to put the 200mm fan on the side... and like, the dual fans would be mounted outside of the case right? Thanks for your replies

darkthings :

no they should be in unless i am misunderstanding which fans you speak of. you do mean the water coolers right? though you could do push pull with one set in one set out. or all inside.

darkthings · Mar 24, 2013

Yes, the cooler fans. as the radiator will go inside Im guessing the dual 120mm fans will go outside

atomicWAR · Mar 24, 2013

darkthings :

no they stay in.

darkthings · Mar 24, 2013

that made me confused now, coz I just saw a youtube video of a guy mounting them on top of the radiator.. :S

darkthings :

you can if you want...i would just put them in so your case looks cleaner from the outside. the fan god won't come punish you i promise!

Any reason why you aren't going for something like a Noctua NH-D14?

darkthings · Mar 24, 2013

I just wanna to the right thing lol. and as long as get good temps I do not care about what the case looks like from outside.

atomicWAR · Mar 24, 2013

amuffin :

i can think of one...weight on your motherboard....over time it can damage it.

amuffin · Mar 24, 2013

atomicWAR :

Because by the time that happens you'll most likely have upgraded anyway?

The NH-D14 is quieter, cheaper, and will do just as well as the H100.

darkthings :

both should have similar temps but putting the fans right up against the radiator on the inside will ensure max airflow though the radiator...gaps from being outside can cause air to escape.

darkthings · Mar 24, 2013

I already ordered it

atomicWAR · Mar 24, 2013

amuffin :

that's fair....but i am one of those my old rig becomes back up so i like to get as much life as i can. so its a preference thing for sure!

amuffin · Mar 24, 2013

atomicWAR :

darkthings :

Well, when you're ready go for real watercooling!

darkthings · Mar 24, 2013

and I cannot do a push/pull config, coz the haf922 does not have enough room for that

amuffin · Mar 24, 2013

darkthings :

You should be able to, but it wont' really affect the performance anyway.

darkthings · Mar 24, 2013

So I think Im gonna have it mounted from inside... thanks for all replies

atomicWAR · Mar 24, 2013

happy to help!
