Hello All,

So on newegg.com, the Rosewill Blackhawk Ultra Case:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147157&cm_re=blackhawk_ultra-_-11-147-157-_-Product

Says it can support up to three 140mm fans on the top of the case, but pcpartpicker.com is saying that all 280mm AIO CPU coolers are not compatible with the case. Specifically the one I was looking to get which was the Corsair H110i GT.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181088&cm_re=H110i-_-35-181-088-_-Product

Does anyone have this case and have you set up or tried to set up a radiator on the for a 280 size radiator, is their something I am missing?

if you do have the case, any pictures of the top of the case so I would know what I am up against would Help!!!!

I have also noticed this, but according to the Rosewill Blackhawk-Ultra product page, it should support a 280mm rad. I am also looking to get a 280mm rad along with a BlackHawk-Ultra so I am in the same boat as you I guess. I myself flagged PCPartPicker's warnings as incorrect and gave an explanation as to why.

I feel as if it has to do with the mounting holes on the top of the case, currently the rads out there in the 280mm size have either a 15mm space between the fans on the rad or a 20mm space. I just got the case yesterday, but not sure how to determine the spacing. Do you measure from the inside edge of the first hole to the inside edge of the second hole?

I am not sure how to measure the spacing of fans myself. You could always drill your own holes if it didn't happen to work I guess. Sorry I can't be more help.

Something else I can recommend is going with the Swiftech H220-X. It is a 240mm Open Loop AIO (which offers expand-ability if you want to add a GPU to the loop as well) that is maintenance free for the first 3 years. After 3 years, all you need to do is fill the reservoir with more coolant (distilled water should work) and you are good to go again. According to PCPartPicker, it is fully compatible with the BlackHawk-Ultra and offers similar performance to its big brother, the H240-X which is a 280mm AIO. The H240-X offers better performance than the H110i GT (see this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qL8DxuUth7U). I am not sure if the H240-X is compatible or if PCPartPicker is being stupid and saying it isn't but you could also go with that if you wanted to see if it did work. Also, be aware that you can not do Push/Pull with the Swiftech AIOs I have mentioned. You can only do pull because of the reservoir mount on the rad itself.
