Hello guys! I have an H440 chassis and a H110iGT AIO cooler. I top mounted it, setup in a push config (fans on the bottom of the radiator blowing air through the radiator then out of the case). The problem I'm having is the fans mounted on the rad are hitting the CPU power cables. They aren't hitting them too badly but the left fan on the rad fits snug on top of the cpu power cable. Also, The left side of the rad isnt even screwed into the chassis. Because it fits snug against the cpu power cable the setup works but in the H440 the H110iGT doesnt fit perfectly so I only have a screw in the bottom right of the rad, the top middle, and two in the bottom middle. The top right screw doesnt fit either and neither does the two left ones. The rad is mounted pretty sturdy but if I push on it a decent bit it does bend down a little on the left side where its only supported by the cpu power cable. My main concern is if this can cause any damage to any of these components. I feel like its okay but I do still have the option to return this rad and get something else if it may cause damage.

I love the H110iGT's design more than the H110i GTX. The way the hoses come out of the pump on the GT appeals to me more than how they come out of the pump on the GTX. I also like the design of the actual pump on the GT more than GTX. I find the GTX to be a little too rounded. so I could keep the GT because of the better design to my preference or I could exchange it for the GTX if anyone thinks that the way my rad is mounted may cause any damage or maybe affect airflow. Thank you all for reading and any help!

I guess you're asking how to FIT it better but I don't see how.

Is it possible to mount to the FRONT of the case?

(It appears in the pictures you can remove some of the bay mounts to do this)

If so, I'd then rethink the air flow such as moving the front intake fans to the top and suck the air in (so air move top to bottom). Not ideal air flow but really should not be much of an issue.

Other:
do NOT reverse the fans as INTAKE for the radiator. This does cool the CPU better but then it raises the internal case temperature so any graphics cards run hotter.

Thank you for the response! I may consider it but I do prefer air flow in the way I have it configured. I just have to decide if I wanna leave it how it is, or maybe file part of the case down so I can access the rad. Id hate to do that though so I may just swap it to the front. Thank you again for the input!
