Does the "Swiftech H320 x2 Prestige" fits in an Obsidian 750D?

Basically what the tittle says.

I know the top should fit a 360 rad but it would be stretching into the cage where the optical drives should be (they are empty though) and wanted to be sure before buying it. That and also if the tubing would be long enough.

Also, opinions on the whole thing? I've read good things about it. It's expensive I know but... well... everyone needs an expensive hobbies.

I was considering going back to the 'huge ass tower cooler' part but think I'm gonna have RAM clearance problems with the Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 3 or the Cryorig R1 as I have all 4 DIMMS populated with this kit. I know the R1 Universal doesn't have RAM clearance problems but I'm gonna be importing this (and other items) from Amazon.de (I live in Argentina) and for that I need the item to be both sold and shipped by Amazon itself. They don't have any R1 Universal available.

Thanks!.

I can't speak specifically to the fitment in a 750D, but I can tell you about my experience with that cooler. First I would say that the cooler itself is a great performer. My 6600K OC'd to 4.6 never passes 60 under load. Idle temps are typically 24 - 28c and typical gaming temps are 45-50c. The whole setup is also extremely quiet. I have the side panel off my case most of the time and I don't notice the fans running at all.

Fitment is a different issue though. This thing is seriously large and due to the placement of the reservoir mounting options are limited, if you want to keep the res in view. I put mine in a Thermaltake Core X-5, and regardless of the position it interfered with the 5.25 drive bays. Some positions it would block all three drive bays and in others it would block two of the three bays. The problem was how thick it was with the rad, fan, and res all being stacked. Based on my experience I would assume it would prevent use of the 5.25 bay in the 750D. The tubing is quite long and should be fine in the 750D. One of the advantages of this cooler though is that you can replace the tubing if desired, so if it's not long enough you can replace it with tubing of the proper length.

Mounting of the fan and LED hub was quite the cable management challenge, but would likely be easier in the 750D that has space behind the motherboard. It will likely require a few fan extensions though.

I've done custom water cooling loops before and this option is much easier slightly cheaper, but no where near as satisfying when the build is done. If I were to do it again, I would probably just do a custom loop. It's not much more and in my opinion provides a more satisfying result.
