Is Corsair H105 compatible with CM 690 III and Asus Z97 Pro (Wi-Fi ac).

I dont think there is much space available above the motherboard. for H105 because radiator is too much thick.

H105 takes 63mm space to install above the motherboard..

Radiator dimensions: 272.5mm x 120mm x 38mm.
Fan dimensions: 120mm x 120mm x 25mm.

please tell me how much space will available in CM 690 III with Asus Z97 Pro (Wi-Fi ac)???

Hello
I have to tell you that it WILL fit. How do i know? Because i have the same case with the same AiO cooler :). And i have some space left too, i have the MSI Z97 Gaming 7 that has a bit bigger heatsinks than normal. So don't worry.

Hello,

Go with another case or with another cooler; on their webpage, CM recommends at best an Eisberg Prestige 240L, which has a 30mm-thick radiator. The motherboard layout is not helping either, having on the upper edge the 8-pin CPU power plug and one of the radiators for the VRM, so the cooler cannot go over the motherboard.

Normally I too had the impression that it should fit with some modifications (the fans mounted on top of the case in "pull" configuration, with the radiator mounted right above the motherboard), but look at that picture:

It is a very bad solution; they could make the cooler metal support or the top removable plastic panel a little bit taller. You still can use the 105i, but you must get rid of the top panel, so the radiator will be in plain sight (and it is not a bad sight, but because the system can accomodate 140mm fans and the cooler has 2x120mm fans, some gaps will remain between the radiator and the case).
