Will the tubes from the h100i gtx fit around the IO on this motherboard when installed in the Corsair 250D? I want to be confident about clearance before I gamble on ordering the parts for this build. I already have the H100i GTX or else I would be using a different cooler. I've seen other people fit this cooler in their build but it's always a different motherboard, and they're ALWAYS the ridiculously overpriced ones.

Motherboard: http://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php?name=MB-H81MITX&c=CJ#

Specs for this build:
i5 4460
ASRock H81M-ITX (or not..)
Corsair h100i GTX
2x4GB DDR3
Zotac GTX 970
EVGA SuperNova 750 B2
ADATA 240GB SSD
Seagate 1TB HDD

The hardware choices will serve well for moderate + level gaming ... but even in the summer months, I don't see a temperature issue. But I do see your point about, if ya got it why not use it. We won't install CLCs on user builds so I can't speak from personal experience, we only do custom loops and OLCs. Tho it's a small board in a small case, I don't see the MoBo being an issue. Unless however the tubes are too long in which case they might kink if you can't route them well enough ... being a CLC, you can't cut them either so that option is out.

But since it's Corsair Box and a Corsair Cooler, i think they'd be the best people to ask.

I already own it and I don't want it sitting around going to waste. I actually won it on a giveaway and I'm using it in my mid tower with a heavily OC'd fx-6300 right now. The stock coolers can be questionable during the worst summer months and I want to have an all around portable, low-temperature, high performance gaming rig.
