Will my AIO water cooler fit?

I have a Core i7-7700K that needs some heavy cooling after I just realized that the Cooler Master 212X Turbo (which should have been enough cooling for the cpu) just couldn't take that 87 degree load that I put on the processer (from AIDA64 feeding it full of data until it literally burned).

I was wondering if the Corsair H100i V2 was small enough to fit inside the (probably non-water cooling support) Corsair 100r Tempered glass case.

My dad loves to save a few buck or 100, and he was wondering if it could fit.

He also wanted to ask tigerdirect if it could fit, which is a complete ripoff on Newegg. Then he wanted to ask Newegg, but Newegg dose'nt deal with this type of problem (as far as I know).

The only option we can see is either risk putting in a radiator that is a few mm off, or buying a case that is perfectly designed for this, and can well fit my system. Please help me.

Since 100R can hold 2x 120mm fans at the front, you can also install 240mm rad there. But to do that, you need to remove the HDD cage first.

The drive bay is metal and the drive drawers are very small and very light weight plastic but it can hold 4 of your favorite drives in a row. The builder will have to remove this module bay from the case if they plan on using a 240X120 Radiator in the front. There are step by step instructions further on about how to remove it. The good part about this is the Fans are mounted outside of the case and the radiator is mounted inside so the sandwich of the two parts actually make the case stronger and quieter in...

The procedure for removing the hard drive module is shown below. 2 in the front; 2 in the back; and four on the bottom and its ready to be laid to rest somewhere to rest in peace.

Not the easist fit but hope this helps...
