Corsair H105 with Thermaltake Level 10GT

[wolf1234]

Hello,
I want to know if using an H105 cooler in level 10gt case is possible.
I can remove the fan at the top of the case, but the H105 will fit?
Thank you!

The Thermaltake Level 10GT doesn't have space for a 280mm radiator (like the H105). Get something that uses a 140MM or smaller radiator like a Corsair H90, which will fit in your Level 10GT.

I would say no offhand. 240mm cooler will not fit where a 200mm fan will go. Holes won't line up and there shouldn't be enough length.

You might be able to get a 140mm cooler up there, but not sure about hole alignment. Thermaltake isn't exactly clear on what is actually compatible.

But the radiator size of the H105 is 240mm not 280mm.
The specs of the Level 10gt says that he can support 240mm.

Look's like quite a few people have done it. Though I can't say how they found out in advance based on Thermaltake's info.

You sent pictures with h100i, not h105

It is the same size. As would most 240mm radiators. I picked out Corsair 240mm radiators and all versions of the 10 GT case.

There are plenty more 240mm radiator builds that could be found. Just to prove a concept, not an exact part fit.

Corsair's model numbers are easy to remember, everyone else using wildly varying model numbers on their radiator. Heck my H-240X is a 280mm radiator, the H-220X is the 240mm...

H105 is a little thicker, and the H100i is slightly longer, I suppose. Not that big a difference.

From the picture I can see that there is still room between the motherboard and the lowest point of the stock fans. That is a good sign that an h105 would fit with relative ease. And that is assuming the perspective is correct and the fans are closer to the back then the motherboard.

So are you saying that it will work? the h105 and level 10GT?
NH D15 will be a better choice?

I will guarantee nothing. I don't own these parts. You'll have to make your own judgement with the information provided.

D15 is an alternative. Air cooling at that level can be quieter than water cooling and just as effective. Very heavy cooler, might have memory clearance issues. And they do take up all of the space around the CPU. Really have to be sure there won't be anything in the way. Not sure it is much of a problem on more recent motherboards, but the blocking of the first PCIe port (where applicable) was common with the NH D14 and Phanteks equivalent.
