Will the H115i fit the Corsair 300R?

I'm considering purchasing the H115i, but haven't seen any reviews online. It seems the H110i is able to fit in. If anyone has any experience with 280mm coolers could let me know. Thank you.

The specs say it has support for 2x 140MM fans in the top, and 2x 140MM fans in the front. I'd front mount the radiator with the fans pulling air through the radiator.

Could I mount it on the top as well?

You could, but you'd have to make sure that the fans don't extend down too far, and interfere with the MOBO.

I'd install the H115i (a 280mm-sized radiator) on top as the 300R does support mounting locations on top for a 240mm or 280mm radiator (you can also install a radiator at the rear but only if its 120mm-sized).

I don't think you can install the H115i in front without any modding. The 2x 140mm front intake fans are in between the frame and the detachable front cover, while inside the frame is the space for the HDD cage.

Based on the official 300R specifications:

Fan Mount Locations
Front: (x2) 120/140mm
Top: (x2) 120/140mm
Rear: (x1) 120mm
Side: (x2) 120/140mm

Radiator Mount Locations
Top: 240/280mm
Rear: 120mm

Suggestions requested to mod the 300R to mount the 115i AIO in the front, please. (My first modding experience!)
