What CPU cooler are you guys using? I managed to pick up this case and got a bargain from Amazon, was planning on using an Arctic i30 but on Fractal's site is says:'Supports CPU coolers with height of ca 160mm' and the i30 is 161mm! I don't want anything that touches the sides, can anyone recommend anything else or is anyone using an i30 without any issues? Thanks.
I don't have this case but when I was searching for a low profile high performance CPU cooler for my case, I found this website to be very helpful. I only had 150mm clearance so I ended up getting an NH-C14 which gives me a bit of headroom between the cooler and the case.
Nice, have been looking at the Noctuas but I really didn't want to spend much more than £30 on one. The i30 is perfect and can handle a good overclock but I'm thinking that it could touch the side. That link is very useful, cheers. Is it too much of a problem if there isn't much/any clearance then? The Define R3 Case size (WxHxD): 207.40x442x521.2mm and supports CPU coolers with height of ~165mm The Define Mini Case size (WxHxD): 210x395x490mm and supports CPU coolers with height of ca 160mm So the mini is actually a wider case. I found this quote from a Fractal rep on another forum: Perhaps I will get away with it?
