Will all this fit in a Corsair 450D

Hey guys,

I'm curious if anyone has had experience fitting these components into a Corsair 450D case. http://www.corsair.com/en-us/obsidian-series-450d-mid-tower-pc-case

Mobo: Asus Maximus IX Hero https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/ROG-MAXIMUS-IX-HERO/
Cooler: Kraken x62 https://www.nzxt.com/products/kraken-x62

The motherboard has some armor at the top of board that might squeeze available cooler space, the cooler looks Ginormous!. I'll be using all 4 RAM slots, should I be worried about available space for pump tubing, etc.? The Corsair 750D can also be an option.

I'm a new builder so I guess i'm more paranoid than a more experienced builder who is confident handling bumps in the road.

The OP of the article is also using the same RAM as me: G.Skill Trident Z RGB - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MSBS0UT/?tag=pcpapi-20

The NZXT x52 cooler's form factor looks a little smaller which might make it work, however i'm using the I7-7700K which i've read runs a little hot, so not sure if I would be losing a significant level of cooling. https://www.nzxt.com/products/kraken-x52

As I said, i'm a beginning builder. I'm a big fan of RGB and that was my reasoning for the choice of mobo, RAM, and cooler.

Sigh... I may have to rethink this build then since, at my skill level, I would be dead in the water if I bought everything and found out it wouldn't fit.

Well, on the Corsair site, the compatible coolers for the case is ( Compatible Corsair Liquid Coolers H55, H60, H75, H80i, H90, H100i, H105, H110 ). So, like the H100i is 120 x 275 x 27mm. And the H110 is 13.78 x 6.1 x 8.22 inches. So match it up with the one you want.

Just to let you know, I've read the difference between liquid cooled and air cooled is like 2 or 3 degrees. You might be better off with a good air cooler. I use the Evo 212 by Cooler Master and my temps while in FSX are around 44 degrees F if I can remember right. Once I shut down the game the temps drop immediately to around 32. I use FSX as an example because FSX is a game that is largly CPU based. Where all its calculations happen in the CPU more so than the GPU. In fact, if you look at my rig in my Sig that's why I haven't really felt the need to upgrade my GPU. I do what to though, but at the moment I have other priorities and don't play newer games. The newest game I have would be Call Of Duty World at War or BBC2. That's the only "newest" games I have comappred to BF2 with the AIX mod and FSX. LOL I do want to play GTA V though since I'm a GTA fan. Played every version since Liberty City.
