Hello, I was wondering where you would mount a Push-Pull H100 configuration in a Coolermaster HAF X case. I heard multiple ways, but i am not sure. Does anyone have any suggestions? Pictures would help ALOT! thanks!

Also.. What fans are best to add on to the h100 that wont screw with the controller? I heard Gentle typhoons are good but idk.
 
I'm thinking top mounting there should be no problems - here's a good pic (gotta scroll down just a bit)

says this;
"HAF X
Fits top without modding
Some modding may be required for P/P, may fit some cases without modding, HW dependant"
So, it seems that it depends what else you got hanging around the top that may interfere (heatsinks from mobo or ram - tall capacitors or the like)
Although pics of the HAF X with H100 in P/P seem to be a little rare, the smaller versions of the HAF series seem to have quite a few pics in that configuration, again leading me to believe there would be little problems

As far as fans, I can't say since I tend to be more concerned with static pressure than FPM and can find woefully little information from fan makers along those lines. So I'm not going to recommend any specific fans here (I'm sure someone will have suggestions).
