Hi, I'm a first time PC builder making my first rig. I'm using a Noctis 450 case from NZXT, an ASUS Maximus VIII Hero motherboard, an EVGA Superclocked 1080 and an Intel I7 6700k which I want to overclock. I've been followiing PC Gamer's 'high end build' recommendations but have hit a wall when trying to install a Corsair H110i liquid cooling system into the Noctis 450 case. I cannot seem to mount the radiator and fans at the top of the case. No mater how much I move it around there is no way to seat the radiator at the top of the case. I've installed the motherboard, PSU, CPU and RAM so this is the next step before installing the GPU. I've been onto Noctis and Corsair but neither have really helped unfortunately. The last repsonse from Noctis advised me to mount the radiator on the front. It seems to be difficult getting this thing to work so trying to decide whether giving up, returning it and going for an Noctua NH-D15 might be easier. Anyone have any advice about which way will be best for overclocking the 6700K? (or any advice at all). Many thanks.

I mounted a Swiftech h240 X2 in the top of my Noctis. I had to removed the fans from the radiator then held the radiator up to the top of then put the fans back on so the top of the case is sandwiched between the fans and radiator.
