Fit both an h100i and a Titan X hybrid into CM Storm Trooper [SOLVED]

Hi everyone,

I am thinking of buying the Titan X Hybrid which has an 120mm radiator/fan (http://www.evga.com/articles/00935/EVGA-GeForce-GTX-TIT...).

My Case is a CM storm trooper (http://gaming.coolermaster.com/en/products/cases/troope...).

The problem is I have already got an H100 2x120mm CPU cooler/fan positioned on top of the Case (http://www.corsair.com/en/hydro-series-h100i-extreme-pe...).

Can anyone propose a method I could fit both of them?

Thanks in advance

UPDATE: Found out that the back exhaust can also fit 120mm fans, so this is th solution

It's only 120mm rad and needs to be used as intake where hot air will be vented into the case to properly cool the card. If you are blowing hot air through the rad, the EVGA Hybrid cooler isn't going to be any better than the stock cooler if you are going to use it as an exhaust. In fact it's most likely going to be worse and you are better off buying the ACX 2.0+ cooler for $69.99.

My experience with the 980 Hybrid CLC on a Titan X as a top case exhaust is it reached 90C+ within 10 minutes or so. As a back exhaust it might be slightly better but the risk for higher temps is still there.

Is that the case even if all the CPU and GPUs are exhausting through rads? How much heat do the rest of the components cause, and is that going to cause much increase in temperature at the cold end of the radiator?
