I am building a new PC and was wondering If the H110 (with stock fans) will fit in the define R5. I've been looking around and I still can't find an answer. I will be using the MSI X power motherboard too (ATX). Any information about this?
You should be able to place it in the front as well (reorganizing your hdd bays).
The whole idea with the Fractal R5 is its silence, so if you are removing the top plates, it sorta compromise that.
