pretty straightforward question. I was just wondering if it will fit in the rear or do i have to have it on the top?

please dont say to get any other cooler...

Hello,

Yes, it will fit, just remove the rear exhaust fan and mount instead the cooler's radiator.

so does that mean as a passive cooler? I really want this in push/pull configuration

??? No way you could use it as a passive cooling solution, sorry for misunderstanding! Use the radiator together with its original fan in "push" configuration (fan --> radiator --> case). For push-pull configuration you must use a fan more powerful than the original Corsair fan (Corsair fan --> radiator --> Coolermaster fan --> case):

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103191&cm_re=120mm-_-35-103-191-_-Product (comparable noise characteristics, 36 dBA vs 37.6 dBA, and a bit better airflow, 95 CFM vs 77 CFM)

If you want less noise, you could go with a pair of these:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233101&cm_re=120mm-_-35-233-101-_-Product (26 dBA noise and 90 CFM airflow)

I don't think the original Thermaltake fan will be powerful enough, that's why I said to remove it.

What CPU you are using? For stock speeds, you can use the cooler on any CPU, but if you want to overclock an FX-8xxx or an i7 you should think of more powerful coolers like the Corsair 100/105/110 or Seidon 240M (but these will not fit in your case anyway).

don't worry i'll just setup like the manual, and i decided to get a better case so i can have better cable management and cooling solution. It is a NZXT source 530 which is a full tower.

I'm staying with the h80i and my cpu is the fx 6300

extremely late reply, but no, it will not. the top of the case is MILIMETRES too low to allow any of the screw holes on the radiator to align with any form the case
