Is the Hydro H80i water cooler compatible with the Thermaltake Versa I case?

[Luis Felipe Rodrigues]

Hi guys, I don't know if I'm posting this in the wrong place, but here it goes. I'm gonna buy a new cooler for my cpu, and I'd really like to buy the Corsair Hydro H80i, so I asked the vendor if this cooler is compatible with my case, a Thermaltake Versa I, and he said it wouldn't fit due to the radiator's size, if I install the cooler it wouldn't have enough space to install the motherboard. Is this information correct? If the Hydro H80i really wouldn't fit my case, the Hydro H75 would? The H75's radiator is smaller. Thanks in advance for your help, and sorry for the bad english if there's something wrong, it's not my first language.




Here are the links for the case, the coolers and my motherboard, with the specifications, pictures and sizes:

I would say hes wrong. While it would be best to install it on the back of the case, you should have no problem installing it up top. Your top mounted fans are offset away from the mobo.

i find it very hard to imagine that it wont fit! considering you could mount the radiator in 5 different spots!
rear exhaust, either of 2 top fan, either of 2 side fan... if it were me, i'd do the side fan and set it up as intake so it's pulling in fresh air 24/7... then have your top and rear fans set as exhaust to blow GPU heat up and out.

(assuming you rarely open your case... it would be annoying mounted on the side panel if you frequently opened your case and it also might be a little tricky to install there)

Thanks guys, I didn't think about installing it up top or on the side, really great ideas. But is it really impossible to install it on the rear?

It fits in any 120mm fan slot. So in your case, any of those spots will work. On top as an intake might work best in this sistuation if it's a close fit on the back.
