Will the H105 fit in the DEfine R4?

[Mirakledba]

So I have a define R4 and I JUST ordered the h100i off amazon. I knew the h105 was coming out but I didnt think it would fit on the TOP of my case. Will it? 100% sure you cant use PUSH PULL with either one but i am going to add two fans. Did I make a mistake and does the H105 fit?

Your toxic 280x is faster than any reference 770, and while SR-71 is indeed VERY knowledgable in terms of pc's, he also should have at least warned of the downsides to a reference 290x vs a non reference one. He is ALL over this site and so of course can give very insightful knowledge, but at the same time, i see him posting incidental answers to previous posts, which would only make sense if he were hoping to luckily be chosen as best answer.

Again, personal opinion, but was kinda put off after seeing it happen three times. He is a smart guy, and no doubt smarter than I in terms of pc hardware, but i just have a slight problem with the quality of his responses. I'm more quality over quantity as you can see lol

Yeah well this isnt about him now. Just was pointing out that he was smart. Other than that. Too late for me. Im sure the Toxic is still good and I love it.

Guys, gigabyte 290x came out so that might have better cooling. Check it out SR 71 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_vH8oDAJ-8

It has better cooling but the performance boost is a little disappointing considering how high you need to have the fans set to keep it under it's max temp (seems to still be roughly over 50% to keep it from eventually throttling down.

It's great but again, if you are in an area where amd cards are more expensive, this card becomes even less of a choice over the 780ti due to it literally becoming the same price.

original price, it's worth it if you have good case airflow
anything but original price is no longer worth it and the performance increase over the regular 290, which has aftermarket coolers now, makes the regular 290 a better buy

these are all in terms of pure gaming. The amd cards are much better at pretty much anything that isn't gaming however (except say compute stuff on the nvidia $4000 compute cards which only graphics professionals will buy)

yeah thats true. Well. Case closed
