I'm thinking of building a computer soon just wonder if the H100 will fit in the Corsair 500R case on this motherboard? I'm a little afraid the the size of the heat sinks will block the 2 x 120mm fans in the top of the case.

Why do you even need a H100 on that setup? You could just run a H80 and it would do fine.

Also, no SSD for OS? 16GB RAM? What do you even need any of this overkill shit for? If you are going to build a high end machine, get something a bit better than a 500R. Corsair 650D or 600T are good.

i smell something bad/troll

EDIT:

we want to see proof of age, proof of income etc

before you go ranting about buying a $660 cpu and putting it in a $130 case with a rubbish cooler

Well what case/cooler do you think I should get? I didn't think their was much to choose from when it came to aftermarket coolers for LGA2011. And I don't want a big case either, it seems the dearer a case gets the bigger it gets. What do you recommend? My age and my income is none of your business we're here to discuss issues, that it all.

you cannot be contemplating a build like this and posting this

LOL that is all

just build a 2500k based system or wait for ivy bridge.....

y not?

if you cant troubleshoot a basic sound issue by yourself.

you should NOT be delving into a high end enthusiast platform

lol well no one else can either, trust me I've tried everything I can think of atm.

Why are you even contemplating the X79 chipset? I very highly doubt you do a lot of encoding or will even fully utilise the processor. Stick to Sandy Bridge and save your money.

Spending money on a X79 build and you take the cheap option for water cooling? Build a loop or go with air cooling.

Also if you're spending under $200 on a case there isn't much of an argument for picking anything over the Fractal Design Arc Mid or a Lian Li.
