[SOLVED] Will this fit?

[TonserTonni]

Hey boys and girls
Will a corsair h100 aio and a 1080 asus strix fit in a nzxt h200 case?

 

[davidgirgis]

Yes.

Radiator Support: Front: 2 x 120 with Push/Pull
GPU Clearance: Up to 325mm
GPU Dimensions: 29.8 x 13.4 x4 Centimeter

Since 29.8 cm is less than 325 mm, therefore your GPU will fit.

Are you 100% sure?
Because in this video is just seems like there is on 1cm or so, left in between the gpu and aio - an d the gpu is 26,67 cm

This video is not a good representation of your setup as it shows an EVGA 1070, which the presenter later switches to an MSI card at the end of the video.

Actually, when I take a closer look at your proposed setup, it seems like NZXT is saying that it will fit either the 1080 with front fans only, or the H100 with a shorter GPU.

If you calculate the difference between your card's length and the maximum allowed by NZXT, you will find that it is a bit over 25mm. This is the thickness of a regular fan, and obviously does not take into account the thickness of the radiator.

So, No, it will not fit both the 1080 and the H100 in their normal configurations.

You could install only one fan on the H100. It will still cool your CPU adequately with just one fan.

My build, linked in my signature, has a very close GPU fit also, and the way I was able to install it was to have only one front fan. Your proposed build is slightly different, but this same idea/concept can help you in your "case".

Thank your for the answer!
But im thinking - what if i remove 1 of the fans, so it is a 240mm rad with 1x120mm fan? Wouldnt that perform as well as a 120mm aio?

Yeah, you're up a creek without a paddle there buddy.
It'll be marginally better than a 120mm AIO.
Reasoning: even a RAD with no fans at all is able to dissipate heat, like them totally silent PC's and all that...
Obviously fans go with radiators, like peas and carrots, but in your situation, the heart is willing, but the space inside that NZXT mini-ITX is not.

There are of course other ways. Look at my PC...marvel...and learn...young padawan.
