based on pictures of the case on newegg... it shows two 120mm fans on the rear, as well as 4 screw holes for each.

so you'd just remove those, and mount the radiator in place of those..

you could also do push/pull if the radiator kit comes with the extra long fan screws.

no push pull there is a metal screen on the back of the case









plus there is no screws there is plastic clips and the fans are too close to the edges of the side panels



just in case recommend me a case from here

1. I personally prefer the water 3.0 extreme over the corsair and coolermaster. My favorite would be the NZXT Kraken X60, might wanna look into that one.

2 The Corsair 200R is by far the best of the 3 cases you picked out but give some consideration to:

the Kraken x60 is out of stock
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
so there must be a reason, anyway we will include it in this study

http://www.egprices.com/en/category/computers/cases/ful...

http://www.egprices.com/en/product/cooler-master-cm-sto...

this is the only market we have , i choose this case . its ok for the cost. i switched from z87 deluxe to pro
saving 100$. now do you have any good reason/benchmark not to prefer the thermaltake water extreme 3 over the corsair H110?
i have a reason , i dont have to buy it from spain and worry about DOA warranty while the
thermaltake water extreme 3 is in the shop down the street .

i think you have the right to prefer the water 3 extreme over the others , it has not been benchmark yet

these studies will show you that the nepton 280L is not so ahead of the rest while the tt water 3 pro is only
2 or 3 c behind them .. that means the water 3 extreme is surely in the same category there .

you see ?

its not about what am going to buy that matter in this post but this guy at u tube really disappoint you about the nepton. bigger aluminum radiator for no additional benefit ,infirm fans cause of the 120/140 mm mounting option . and it will gives you similar benchmark result as the H110. while its more expensive and harder to buy from Europe in my case .
while the other bench shows the nepton ahead of them


i made some afford to find a benchmark for the water extreme 3 my secret weapon

http://www.anandtech.com/bench/CPUCooling/772

putting the nzxt at range here

noise level :

Best solution

2-4 fans pushing air through a radiator will be noisy no matter what brand, its the nature of fans that above @900 rpm, the edges of the blades will make sound. There are all sorts of blade designs to try and combat this, but ultimately the best solution is to get a cooler more capable than what you need, and lower the fan speeds to 900 or below. Noctua NF-D14 is a good example. At max rpm (1500) its only a few degreesC cooler than at low settings (900 rpm) yet at max its @50+ db, on low its only 31db.

The 110 is a great cooler, as is the nepton. The water 3.0 pro is a single rad 2x thick, like the h80i, so is close in performance. I do prefer the 3.0extreme, just because its slim, meaning when top mounted it doesn't interfere with the mobo. I have a corsair h-55 but I had to change the fan to a Noctua NF-F12, I prefer the quietness of it at lower rpm (400@idle) to the constant 1200 of the stock corsair.

If you have one down the street, go for it, ultimately it will be the better value.

Totally pot luck. You could get one that will OC to 4.8, or one that will only stay stable at 4.5. No one ever knows.
