According to both of the websites that you listed, the Zalman site says that it can't exceed over 140mm, where the Thermaltake height is 160mm. So it looks like it will be unable to fit.

So I just purchased a Zalman ZM-T4 case on Amazon and I just realized that my CPU cooler might not fit in. According to the specs, the CPU cooler's height is 160mm and the case's width is 189mm. Do you think it will be enough or should I cancel the purchase?

 

Thanks

you should be fine. unless you're installing side panel fans then that might be a problem, depending on the depth of the fan.

Thanks. I actually want to install a side fan, as the case has two spots on the side panels for fans. So basically, if there is not enough for the CPU cooler, that solves everything.
