I would know, I bought the H100 and then after hours of trying to fit it I ziptied it to the AP181S because it was the only way. I was seriously annoyed with this. Here are some pictures:
2600k, idle package 34C, 5Ghz (LLC 75% offset+0.100) prime95 max 77C. (yes i know llc is bad, but all the asus rog guides say to use it with their boards, so just testing it).
Im thinking of buying 2 extra fans for the front drive bay and see what kind of difference they make, due to the main intake air going through a radiator first.
I may also take out the AP181s and just make the H100 exhaust out the bottom, and test with the drive bay intakes. If anyone is good with airflow etc can suggest how to improve this, please tell because this is kind of a waste of money for the current performance.
