Before I continue to put this together, will this actually work? I do not have enough room because of my mobo.

Here are some photos of the scenario:

I have a Phantom case with a Sabertooth Z97 Mark s. There is not enough room for my corsair h100i, so will mounting the fans below the cooler work? They are separated by a super thin piece of metal. I have no other options (that I am aware of), sadly. Will this work?


Edit:


Would this work?

Should I flip the top fans?

You Def want the fans on the interior blowing up into the radiator which will be on the top hidden by the Phantom's shroud, like you had it in your first pics.

Just take out the mobo real fast. It's not the WHOLE computer :p
Do up all the case stuff real nice and tidy. Did you run your 4+4 CPU power under the mobo? etc
Then gently lay the mobo in its new home.

That thing looks great man, you'll want it perfect!

I just could not get the screws in. There is literally no room to even fit a screw driver, because of my motherboard.

So what do you suggest? Taking apart the whole computer and removing the mobo? I believe that is the only way to get the fans on the inside and the radiator on the outside. Or flip the fans but leave them at the top? Or leave it alone as it is? Thanks for your help!

I actually purchased this computer used today. I got it for a steal! The guy had this watercooler but could not install it himself.

I will do what you said. Honestly, i spent more time trying to make this bad "solution" work than it would have taken to remove the mobo. Sometimes your mind just gets carried away, I guess.

Thank you so much for your help!
