CPU cooler doesn't fit !?

Dragonblids · Dec 23, 2014

I just go the new Fractal Design Define R5!!

i got a Corsair h110i for my CPU, and my plan was to fit it in the front, to keep the silencing foam on the top, but it doesn't fit in there, it's the holes which doesn't fit the once in the case, and i don't get why, i there any other cooler, i can make fit in there, or do i have to do a mod myself, to make it fit?

Per the Fractal website you should be able to mount the H110I by removing the the front drive bays.

You also might be able to mount it to the top but you may end up blocking part of the rear exhaust fan.

You could always try exchanging it for the h100i if its too cramped. I doubt you'd notice much of a temp difference between the two. Maybe a few degress, but nothing Wowtastic.

The red once are the top and bottom holes for 140mm fans, an the green once are the middle holes on the H110i.

and as you see the space between the fans, is slightly bigger on the cooler, and in the case, this is the reason, why i can't make it fit.

Sorry for the pink collor, my camera is broken.

Like MundoDragon said you might have to change it for the H100I and the temps should be around the same. Plus its a little bit cheaper. Another idea is to mount an H80I top the top of the case (inner most grate) and have the fans pointing outwards. I have the H80I on a I7-4770K (stock clock) and idle temps are about 25C and gaming temps never exceed 50C.
