Posted April 26, 2018 For the build that I am planning, I have been looking at the Corsair Carbide 400q. However, I'm worried about clearance issues as I'd like to use the noctua nh-d15s for my cpu cooler. Will this case have enough clearance? Or are there any other dampened cases that might be good alternatives? I took a pass on the Corsair 330R because the storage drive bays are located at the front instead of a second fan.

Posted April 26, 2018 The P400S has dampened panels inside, that's what I'm getting when my birthday comes around in a little bit. hi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 26, 2018 You should have about 5mm of clearance. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 26, 2018 Dark Base 700 is also great, silent, modular and 'roomy', but yeah, definitely not as much as the huge dark base pro 900. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 26, 2018 I like my corsair 500R. It will fit anything plus a dual RAD double thick on the top.
