I'm planning to build a rig with the R4 and wanted to know if the H110 will fit without any modding. On the newegg website it says that the top of the case has support for 240/280 radiators but I read a review that said that the H110 does NOT fit so I'm a little confused. If anyone has their R4 and H110 setup can you please let me know how you managed to do it? Oh and for the motherboard and RAM I'll be using a
GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 and G Skill Ripjaws X Series which looks like

and was wondering if it would have any clearance issues?

I suppose I could since the case supports it but honestly if the case were to support the H110 why not go for it? It should also offer me with better temps as it's a larger radiator with larger fans.

are you prepared to risk it just for 2-5C better temps?

Not really,but I guess I do have the alternative of getting the Vengeance C70 which does fit the H110 so I'll just take advantage of that. Now I'm not even sure if I should get the H110 or H100i because I really like the R4 so I'll have to think about this for a while.

Are you getting the c70 in green? -i love that case in green- what is the purpose of your computer? Perhaps you may be better with something similar to the Noctua D-14 (air cooler with similar temps to watercooling) I cant see there being a massive need for watercooling unless you have a [stock]+1.5Ghz overclock planned.

Not sure,I do like the military theme it has going on but I might get the white one it looks really nice. The purpose of it is purely for gaming and music production. And yes I'm planning to overclock,going to overclock FX 8350. This is what I'm going to build if I do go with H110 and C70 http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1ahqw

Have to agree, the white version is rather nice; i've seen a few people do portal 1/2 mods with the white edition using XSPC dual reservoir bays (orange & blue liquid) with various portals around the case in which the piping comes out of; a rather nice effect. Nice build by the way; im making a new one at the moment:

Planning on Sli'ing this beauty and adding some XSPC cooling accessories (GPU waterblocks, cpu, ram, rads, dual reservoir (white and red liquid) and pumps of course) But will leave that for next year
*drools*

Thanks,I'm not planning to do custom water cooling any time soon as I know very little of about it but that seems pretty cool. Thanks,you have a pretty nice build going on as well. Good luck with your build and the watercooling!
