Which of the Corsair Aio will fit in a Fractal Define R5?

[dalinkwent]

Just wondering which one of the Corsair Aio would definitely fit into a Fractal Define R5. I went and bought a 115i (which is 51mm thick) seeing as that the case can hold up to a 360mm rad in the top, just as long as it's less than 55mm thick. Well the Aio didn't fit, not even close, and I'm in search for another, so if someone could help I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Water cooling compatibility

Front – 360, 280, 240, 140 and 120 mm radiators of all thicknesses (requires removal of drive bays)
Top – 420, 360, 280, 240, 140 and 120 mm radiators. (A thickness limitation of 55mm for both radiator + fan applies on 420, 280 and 140 mm radiators) (420 and 360 mm radiators require removal of the ODD bay)
Bottom – 120 or 240 mm radiator (Use of radiators in the bottom position limits the PSU length to 165 mm)
Rear – 120 or 140 mm radiator

Radiator dimensions: 140mm x 312mm x 26mm

You don't say what dimension gave you trouble.... but best you can do is measure what fits and then find something with smaller dimensions ... I can't give you any specific reference on Corsair CLCs as we will not install CLCs. The only AIOs we will install are the Swiftechs and the EK Predator series

I know ya seem to have heart set on a Corsair but can't recommend any type of water cooling w/ aluminum rads. If ya willing to consider anything else...

The h240-X is shorter, thinner, better thermally and quieter and same price.

Thanks for the reply. I did kind of have my heart set on a Corsair AIO but I'm open to other ideas but I'll definitely check out the AIO you recommended.

The thickness was giving me trouble with the H115i, it was hitting the IO shield on the motherboard (Asus Maximus VIII Formula) and it was hitting the rear exhaust fan as well. This is with standard 25mm fans on a 26mm thick radiator, which is why I thought it would fit. I know their site claims to fit a 280mm rad that is ~55mm thick, but the H115i isn't one of them lol.
