So i'm planning to do some overclocking on my CPU and i'm looking to get an aftermarket cooler. However I can't seem to find anywhere that says that my case supports water cooling so I was wondering if any of you know whether or not it does. I do see a space beside the drive bay cage but i'm not sure if it'll fit a radiator and I can't remove the cage either since I have a drive and fan controller installed. I'm planning to get the Corsair H80i GT or H100i. Also I have the version of the K350 that has the sides bulging out (not the one you can currently see on the CM website) for easier cable management and a taller air cooler. And if it doesn't support water cooling, any idea what air coolers will fit in this case?

It would function perfectly since the fan on the water cooler expels air from the case. You might also utilize the fan you possess at the rear and direct it toward the front of the case to improve air circulation.

One 120mm fan water cooler could work in its place, but it requires a radiator instead of a back 120mm fan. Fans with double fans need special setup and a dedicated case.

CountMike summarized the situation, noting that a single 120mm fan water cooler could work in its place, but it changes the fit compared to an air cooler. He mentioned that double fan coolers require special installation and case setup. He also asked how this would influence the case's airflow, especially if the back fan is replaced with a radiator.
