Case/motherboard for H100i

[kingcarlos89]

Hey guys, just installed h100i into my case (carbide 300r and mobo is MSI h97 gaming3). A very tight fit in and the fans are hitting the rams at high speed (probably due to vibration). Any idea which case/mobo combo can provide for clearance for the installation?

A bigger one. Budget?

eg Corsair 450D, CM 690iii, Enthoo Pro.

I'm looking at define r5 or h440. more concerned about which z97 mobo will be suitable (more space at the ram area). cheers

They are all ATX and would have the same problem. The Gaming 3 is not that good. See http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-intel-amd-motherboard,3902.html

Try Extreme 4 or Gaming 5.

So the best thing you can do is get a bigger case. Budget?
