Fan not fitting

[aamird95]

The fan on my radiator won’t fit in my case since the motherboard is coming in the way. I bought an h500m case and got a z390 msi gaming carbon motherboard with an nzxt kraken x62 aio. The problem is that I cannot setup the first fan on the radiator (the radiator is on the top of the case) as the motherboard comes in the way of the fan .I can easily install the second fan since the position of the second fan is away from the mother board. Is there any way I can get fit the fan on the roof ?

Then try to install the AIO in front panel, because your MB is in the way of the other fan. You can go to CM site to download the manual. http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mid-tower/mastercase-h500m/

Thanks . In case I get a chance to change my motherboard , which one would you recommend so that the fans on the top don’t come in the way of the motherboard.

You may use the MB for the Core 9000 K Series cpu, I don't look at which MB is best for the 9000 k cpu yet. Also you may need the RGB thing too. So sorry, you maybe hard to find the MB, which has all features you need.

I am using an i7 8700k . So if you know any motherboard that I can use which will not come in the way of the fan mounted on top of the case please let me know .

You may try to find the MB ( Z370 or Z390) with the small heatsink or without the heatsink.
Something like with small heatsink https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813145036&ignorebbr=1
Or without the heatsink https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813119037&ignorebbr=1

Or keep your z390 MB, buy the smaller size AIO, like NZXT Kraken X52, but I don't know they will fit or not.

Same problem with my H500m case
Asus ROG Strix Z390-E heatsink is preventing my corsair H115-I Platinum AIO from being installed in the top.
Seems as though Cooler Master dropped the ball this this time.
I will be calling and screaming at Coolermaster first thing monday morning for falsely advertising something that actually will not work

Im wondering what would need to be done to mount the cooler to the front. I would think that I would need to remove both 200MM argb fans which is one of the most appealing aspects of the case

Mount your fans on the other side of the radiator so the radiator sits below the metalwork and the fans above it under the top cover. I had to do that on my old urban 71 case.

Ill take a look at that option
I was also thinking, What if I installed the radiator inside the case on top but install the fans on the outside of the case, the case cover would still cover the fans

What solved the problem for me was installing the radiator in the front of the case (from the inside) and mounting your rgb fans on the top. The aesthetics of the case was the way I wanted it to be and was pretty satisfied from the looks of it .
