The top of the case should take x2 120mm fans = x1 240mm x 120mm radiator = H100.

I thought the case takes only 2x 200mm fans? At least the cases I have came with one each of the 200mm fans. I am not sure about mounting points for 120mm fans. I would just go look, but they are far away for the weekend. So I want to make sure

Sorry I'm thinking 932? I'm looking at user manual now. Give me a minute or 5....

Edit: I would suggest you not set the fans as the guy in the video did. Your fans should push air out the top, not pull air into the case. Otherwise you will never exhaust enough air to cool the rest of your system.

Just my 2%

Huh. Thanks for the video!

Not sure how he mounted the radiator. Just that he did it somehow. So it must be possible. I will NOT be adding fans on top of the case (!?) And I will not have them blow into the case. What a dingleberry.

His error was on air direction but in stock config, the 200mm fan(s) are on the outside of the case. The plastic hood covers the fan(s).

I mounted a 3x120mm rad in my HAF X. The length does prevent the use of the top drive bay though. 2x120mm wouldn't cause that.

I mounted it on the under-side of the 2x200mm fans instead of removing them and putting the rad in their place. So both 200mm fans are still there exhausting out the top. I also attached the 3 120mm fans to the rad just to insure the proper amount of air was flowing over the fins. There was plenty of room that all of this did not encroach on the motherboard itself.

Edit: btw no modifications were required. Just screwed it in.
