Corsair Spec 01 and H105 Cooler

[TechMinerUK]

Hi, I was just wondering if the Corsair H105 cooler would fit into my current PC case. I will also be using a Asus ROG Hero VII Motherboard.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

No it doesn't.

It MIGHT fit. The H100 fits, but you lose the rear fan and you can only use RAM with NO heatsinks. Otherwise it will not fit.

The H105 will guarantee no heatisnks on RAM and no rear fan. Depending on how tall the heatsink is on the VRM on the motherboard, neither the h100 or h105 will fit at all.

That case is a budget case not designed for high end parts or water coolers. I would 100000% recommend buying a higher quality case.

What case would you recommend (I've got a limited budget)

Budget.

Corsair 300r, NZXT Phantom 410, Fractal Deisgn R4.

If you budget is so limited you should get a cheaper motherboard.

Would you mind posting your whole build?

Under £60 and the reason I chose that motherboard is because I currently have an MSI Gaming 3 Z97 which apparently doesn't overclock that well.

I currently own:
MSI Z97 Gaming 3 Motherboard
8GB Corsair Vengence Pro 1866Mhz
DVD Drive
Intel 4670K
