Hi all!
Very quick problem here:

Hi all!
I ordered the Corsair H60 (cpu cooler) for my intel i7 4770K.
But when I was about to screw the Radiator on the Back Fan, I noticed the 2 tubes was coming out of the side of my case!!

My mobo is the ASUS Sabertooth Z87 (thermal shield) and it blocks the clearence :/

So yeah, is there any solution of tips for me? Because I do not want my Old Stock Cooler back...

(Case = NZXT Phantom 410 Orange)

I see 2 options
1) Remove the top fan and spin the rad 90 degrees so the hoses come off the top, if that would go, or top vent in place of the fan

2) Mount the fan as push, and see if the rad would fit hoses down. or mount the rad fan outside the case as pull, with rad hoses down.

Hi, I did not move the upper fan, but I rotated the Rad 90degrees so the tubes points down (points on the GPU).
My H60 is the 2013 model (thicker tubes, more tention)

I did this instead: http://cdn.overclock.net/f/f4/500x1000px-LL-f4121899_DSCF6299.jpeg

BUT there's alot of stress going on the tubes and CPU. I hope the tubes get a bit lose with time otherwise, they are under-tention.
I bent the tube alot and I hope they don't damage the mobo nor the CPU...
But thanks alot for your Answer!
