Hi. I just bought a case (Rosewill Stealth) and in the specifications, it states "The two front fan slots can be used to install one 240mm liquid cooling system, as do the two top fan slots. You will have numerous options to set up your own cooling configurations.".

So does "one 240mm liquid cooling system" mean a single fan or a dual fan cooling system?

Will a Corsair H100i GTX fit?

My mobo is the Asus Crosshair V..

Thanks.

When they state a 240mm liquid cooling system, they are referring to the radiator. The fan mounts are spaced to work with the "standard" screw placements on the 240mm radiator. All 240mm liquid cooling systems come with 2 120mm fans. The name for 240mm comes from the fact that it is rectangular and uses 2 120mm fans so 2X120mm=240mm.

As for the H100i GTX fitting in your case, without know exactly how much room is on top, I'd say your best bet is the front. I only say this since in some cases, the space between the top inside of the case is too close to the top of the motherboard. This can make it difficult or impossible to accommodate the radiator and fan thickness. In most cases there is plenty or room at the front of the case...

You'll either have to look at the case specifications to try and determine how much room there is between the top of the case and the motherboard and compare that to the H100i GTX radiator + fan thickness. Most 120mm fans are 25mm thick. Or just wait until you get the parts and measure once you have the motherboard in.
