I just thought I'd update this thread for anybody else wanting the info. Probably less and less relevant because everybody has probably moved onto new chipsets but - I found an Adata XPG 1tb M.2 drive on sale for a rediculously low price so bought it and thought I might as well give it a go...

It's not your fault at all, I did hours of research looking at all images I could at the top, scrouncing any youtube builds to see what AIO they used etc. and do have a good understanding of fan/rad sizing. I was pretty confident it wasn't going to fit but went ahead for a couple of reasons. One...

So for anybody reading along later, it does not fit, nowhere near. Not sure why people have been saying it will fit one. I event took the RAM out but it was nowhere near clearing the MB heatsinks, and my MB has really small ones up top. Stock Intel cooler is back in for now. Side note found a...

So I've decided what I'm going to do, I've ordered the case, and because it's so hard to find people that have physically tried the cooler in the top, I'm going to give it a go. Worst case scenario I realized I've got an air cooler lying around so in the likely even it doesn't fit I'll just put...

It looks like the mounting holes are there, I mean you can get 2 X 140mm fans in the top, from what I'm understanding the height is what's missing. Thanks for your help I've definitely at this point heard more say it's not gonna work. So I definitely won't roll the dice. Anybody in Australia...

This is what I was after, thank you. So just one last question did you ever try the x62 up top when you were building? Correct, I'm not sure if you read my original post but I already have an x62, which is why I'm trying to see if it would work. Happy to use an x52 but that means I have to...

Thanks for your replies. What I'm trying to do is put the rad in the top. Reason being is I have a 305mm long GPU and 3 x 120mm Aer fans. So IMO it would look sick with the fan effects up front through the mesh, and having the rad on top is the only way I'll be able to fit my video card. Qwerky...

Thanks for your reply, specs say 'up to 240', which I assume means no 280, but there are people that say it fits. Here stems my confusion.

I'm thinking of picking up a new case just to freshen things up in my build. I really like the Mesify C. The manufacturer specs say up to 240mm rad on top and 280/360 up front. I would really love to put my Kraken x62 up top, which is 280mm. I've done tonnes of searching and research, and have...

Thanks all for your replies. To answer questions from a couple of posts, my reason for buying is eventually when there's enough reason to I'll upgrade the processor and chipset with it. 9700k, 10700k or whatever it'll be called maybe. When I do that I'd like to upgrade to an NVMe drive and boot...

I have an older Z97X motherboard, this one here: https://www.gigabyte.com/au/Motherboard/GA-Z97X-Gaming-7-rev-10#ov I have a couple of questions about getting M.2 NVMe drives to work, from my research although this board does have an M.2 port any drive wouldn't run at NVMe speeds and wouldn't...

That's them! Thanks guys this has been annoying me for weeks! Hard to know where to start searching for really specific info like this. Looks like the 2.54mm variant from the looks of this for your standard internal USB header...

Hi guys. Internal USB cables. On my aio where the USB cable plugs into the header on the motherboard one of the wires snapped off. Need to source another one of the pins so I can repair it but I don't know what they're called or where to source them. Can't even find a picture on Google of what...

Any ideas? Or need more info?
