Hello,

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

??? 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=N82E168... (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=N82E168... (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
