Hello everyone,

I am about to build a PC and had a question about these 2 cases.

830 Stacker - The internal 4 Fan panel. I cant tell how much clearance there is inbetween this and the CPU. Is there room for a large CPU Fan/Heatsink? Any issues with this?

Cosmos S - The huge 200 mm fan on the inside panel. I heard this does interfere with large CPU heatsink/fans. Anyone find any way around this other than removing the fan?

Im thinking about this cpu heatsink fan: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6835233003

Also another question about that cosmos S and its 200mm fan. I cant seem to find anyone that makes 200mm fans or sells them. Are these new or rare? Just wanted to check because the normal stock fans for any case are never that great so i was thinking of finding a better one.


Thank you guys for all of your help.

i don't have the exact measurement from my cpu to the bracket, but i have about 1-2inches of clearance[its in between]
and im using an Artic cooler freezer pro 7 which is already about 11cm tall...

 

so about 15cm of clearance...VERY rough estimate

 

this is for the stacker 830...you can always remove the bracket, alot of people do that for that extra bit of space

I have the Cosmos S....,


I am using the Xigmatek S1283 and it fits, but not with a lot of extra room. :ange: Thinking there is only about 1-2 cm space between the cooler and side fan.

They sell 200mm and + fans FYI.
