Using a Corsair h115i rgb to overclock i7 8700k ?

[bucky7837]

I am about to build a new i7 8700k system with a MSI gtx 1080 16gb ddr4 3000mhz ram , evga 850gq power supply , MSI z370 gaming pro carbon , Corsair h115i pro rgb and a Corsair crystal series 570x case.

Will the h115i pro fit in the Corsair 570x at the top and which way should I have the fans blowing through the radiator.

I wouldn't suggest mounting the radiator on top. Heat rises and all the heat generated from internal components (inside the case) is going to pass through the radiator. I'd suggest mounting the radiator in the front if you can so the intake fans can pass cooler air through the radiator.

If I mount it at the front there is 3 rgb fans what will I do with them.
That's why I thought about the top lol.

I would not worry on top or front placement either will do fine. For the top have the fans blowing through the radiator and out the top...For the front, the same but as you have RGB fans that are 240mm and the AIO is 280mm, you are going to have to re-thing things as you will need the 280mm fans that came with the AIO to blow through from the front and into the radiator into the case...

As, I said the top will be more than fine. I currently have the H150i pro at the top...with great temps and the H115 is pretty much just as good..
