Corsair H100i Problem?

I am very worried...I am going to buy an H100i in the future but I dont know if It will fit in the Fractal Design Define R4. I ordered PC parts the other day and they are being shipped but With the motherboard being ATX (MSI Z87 G65 gaming) Along with the Fractal Design Define R4 case and a PUSH PULL configuration with the H100i....I DONT KNOW if that will work....

Will it work with push pull? If not,
Will it work with only 2 fans below the rad?

Thanks

I don't think so. I just built a new PC yesterday, bought a Bitfenix Merc, mid-sized case, looks about the same as the R4 and a cooler master Seidon 240XL, same size as the 100i. There was no way I could fit it in the top. One, there wasn't room for the rad, let alone 2 fans or 4. I maybe could have top mounted the fans (didn't want that or that look in a pull config) but I couldn't even do that because the 2x120mm spaces were infact 2x120mm, but not next to each other. there was a small inbetween the fans, and the rad/fan setups don't allow for that.

I ended up taking the case back, luckily bought locally, and got a Bitfenix Ghost. It has a spot at the top for a rad, or fans inside a small door, so I did it as a pull config as...

Just look at the top of your case though. 1, are the 120mm holes spaced or right next to each other. 2, do you have about 4" clearance from the top of the case to the VRM's or the RAM slots. Probably not looking at your case.

ive got the fractal design r4 and a corsair h100i and ive been able to fit it in the top in pull config. it is a very tight fit with maybe a mm or 2 clearance on the ram. im using a asus ROG maximus V gene mb. so you can put a h100 in the top of the case but it will come down to the motherboard and how far the ram and heatsink around the cpu stick out.
