Hey, im planning to build a PC with the Corsair 250D and I also want to cool an OCed i5 4690k with the Corsair H80i. According to Corsair's website, the H80i is not listed in the compatible coolers section. But, looking at its size, I thought that it could fit. Anyone tried this already? If yes, would love your answer, would help out alot

Thanks in advance :D

It'll house a single fan w/o issues but I'm not so sure about both the fans. I read it up here and they say it'll fit:

But this site says 1 fan will rather fit:

I'll do a cautious approach and rather go with NH L9i, which'll fit surely w/o any modifications anywhere and is good at job too. Also, NH-C12P SE14 will fit too, but its just too much price so it'd not be that price/ performance as it'd be with L9i.

Aww, if this cant fit I'll go with the Corsair H60, what are the differences between the H60 and the H80i?

Can the 250D hold the NH-C14 with two fans?

A post on the Corsair forum showed that the 250D had 150mm height available for the heatsink, and the NH-C14 is 130mm with dual fan, according to a review on Newegg, so I think it will fit unless the measurements are wrong. Anyway, thanks for the help, really appreciate it :D Gonna go a-bit more research on the NH-C14, if later I find that it doesnt fit, I'll go for the L9i.
