It´s been a few months since I´ve bought the Antec Kuhler H20 620 for my PC.
It was a bit hard to mount it for a newbie but in the end, I did it.
But I just can´t fit the radiator in my case...
It´s been months now since I´m running my PC with my case open because it won´t close with the radiator mounted.
If I change the orientation of the radiator, it smahes into my GPU and it won´t fit AGAIN.
I would mount it on the top of the case but then again it touches the RAM and doesn´t fit....
What should I do?
Buy a new case, that´s an obvious answer but what if I buy a new case and it ends up being my motherboard´s shitty design?
That´s why I want you guys to have a look at this and tell me what to do?
Specs:
CASE: Aerocool Strike-X One.
CPU:i7 860
Mobo: ASUS P7P55LX
GPU: GTX 670 AMP
RAM: 8GB DDR3 1333MHZ
PSU: OCZ ZS 750W
ETC....

Thank you for your time.

it's not the board. they're all basically the same. the radiators are advertised at a certain ( size fan ) but what most people forget to take into consideration is that the top and bottom of radiator extend beyond the size of the fan. then you look at most cases.......... which are not designed with water cooling in mind......... we all go through this. you're not alone. just put the fan on top ( draw air through case ( though radiator ) to outside ) and things will work out fine.

Yeah man, the only way to do it is to basically mount the fan outside of the case, on the top.
If I do it with the fan inside, it smahes into my RAM.
Same thing if I change the orientation of the radiator, it smahes into my GPU, it looks like the GPU´s gonna brake if I leave like that.This is the only way to close the case, but not with the risk of breaking my GPU .... :(
My motherboard is pure shit, due to the placing of the PCI-E slot too dam´ high !
