Swiftech H220-x

GamerDK · Feb 23, 2015

Hi,
I'm considering installing a Swiftech H220-x Water cooler but I'm a bit worried that there will not be room for it due to my RAM modules. If someone here has this cooler could you please measure the distance from one side to where the reservoir/pump housing begins (marked in red on attached drawing). From pictures I can see that it is approximately half the width of the radiator but I think it's going to be close

What RAM and what case?

Case: Corsair Obsidian 450D
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro Series

If it doesn't clear the RAM just move the radiator forward one spot.

That said, you should be clear with room to spare.

Thanks - I hope you are right. The next spot is 5 cm forward and then I think I'll hit the 5.25" ODD

Do you honestly need an ODD? I haven't put one in a tower since 2012.

I'm not kidding but I just had to google what an ODD was because I didn't recognize the term. If you really want one, just buy an external USB drive, the prices are cheap enough these days.

Anyways, it is 64mm from pump to edge of the radiator. From the edge of the reservoir where the drain port is located is 41mm.

On a side note. Where are you mounting this? That case looks huge and most pics I see of it with the H220-X have the radiator mounted to the top...

The case is a Corsair 450D, I removed the top drive bay to make more room for the H220-X.

Only images I could find with that combo on the interwebz. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the measurements - now I can check if it can be installed without modifications or I have to find an alternative to my ODD (or just live without it). I plan to mount it to the top of the case.
