I downsized the idea and now have a Corsair Hydro Series H60. They suggest you mount it in the top rear exhaust fan position, but the hoses seem to bind being that the processor is right there. So I mounted it up top and to draw air down in through the radiator. The hoses fit comfortably with no stress. Unfortunately the Corsair logo on the pump ends up upside down.

The H110i is a 280mm rad and the 100i is a 240mm rad. The h60i is a 120mm rad and you look like you have enough room for 240mm. Also the H100i has slightly smaller hose attachments than the H60 and it also has braided cables so you could have had the heatsink right side up Edited February 17, 2016 by fireurza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never overclock. I don't like the worry of liquid failure and all the cash I put into a MB and GPU going to shit. I may just return this "could be hazzard".

First one lasted the entire 2 years I used the computer. The next one lasted the year I used my last pc. They are build sturdy and the liquid inside them is non conductive. So the only thing a leak will do is increase pc temp... your pc should shutdown before the cpu gets hot enough to do any real dmg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Seems like too many wires, almost looks like connection for a video card. Just to make sure are you using the 4+4 connector for the CPU? For your power supply it should say CPU 1 and cpu 2 on the connectors. Also it should be coming from the hard wired cable cluster and not the modular ones.
