Hey everyone.
I bought a Corsair Graphite 600T case (white edition for something different :)) a while back, and some water cooling goodies.

I have 2 240 rads that I have to make fit. One is a Swiftech, the other is a Black Ice Xtreme (much thicker).

I was planning to mount one of them at the top of my case on the inside.
It would work fine...except that my motherboard's 8-pin CPU connector happens to be there :/

Here are a few pics:

I'm planning to have rad on the inside-top there.

Here you can see that the radiator is barely too thick to go behind (or above...) the CPU 8-pin connector.

Just another pic showing that the rad overlaps the 8-pin connector (On the left there).


So...should I just mount the rad off-center at the top?
I'm planning to have the fans on the top of the case under the grill.
 
Return the case if you can and buy a full tower case, it's would offer you more room to work with.
If return the case is not an option, then i think you have modified the case permanently (mount the rad outside on the top)
