hey!
so I was able to run both PCIe power cables in the gap between the cooler and the GPU so you should have space, even if you have to tuck the power cables behind the GPU instead. best advice I can offer if you are going with the Coolermaster aio is that you need to pay attention to its thickness, it varies somewhat between models. (i used the lite version - the slimmest)

Oh wow, I did not see your reply! Would this be the cooler: http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/cpu-liquid-cooler/masterliquid-lite-120/ I have a couple more questions, if you could pretty please have time to answer them. I'm planning on using a asetek 550lc, which should be the same 27mm thickness radiator as the cooler master one linked, and did you use a slim noctua 15mm fan?

Are the tubes bent extremely when closing the lid? And also, does the aio interfere with the front power switch at all?

I really want to try the asetek 550lc, which should be the same 27mm size radiator. If your temps are awesome with the cooler master, I'll have a try with it! I didn't see your reply until now, thanks for making the time!

hello again, that is the same cooler, yes i used a 15 and while the asetek looks like it could fit, the tubes look pretty thick and you might have issues bending them. the cooler master lite has really skinny tubes so i had no issue with kinking as they bent pretty easy, could even tuck them behind the ssd mount, though you'd only want one ssd if doing so.

it was definitely tight with the power button i pressed it firmly against but i wasn't tough with it.

My aio choice was mostly based on the height of the water block itself. the other cooler master options were too tall. definitely check if the 550lc is short enough!

best of luck and I hope it works out!

i actually couldn't fit the fan on the radiator because of the power button. I used electrical tape instead to offset its hight. still works fine.

Im either thinking about the asetek 550lc or the cooler master ml120l rgb. Which one do you think will work better? The cooler master one is the same tubing as yours, just with a another layer of tubing around it. And 27mm radiator thickness works because it doesn't interfere with the power button? Any other height would?
