Will the Ma410M fits in a NZXT H500

[Juselara02]

Good night, I am looking to change my case for the NZXT H500 case but I don't know if my cooler will fit,

 

It is a Cooler Master MA410M TUF edition (http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/cpu-air-cooler/masterair-ma410m-tuf-gaming-edition/) .

According to the NZXT web page the clearance for the CPU Cooler is 165 mm. and the Cooler has a registered height of 165.1 mm. And PC part picker says the case and the cooler are not compatible... BUT...

 

PC part picker said the same thing for that cooler and my current case, the Thermaltake Versa J24 (https://www.thermaltake.com/Chassis/Mid_Tower_/Versa/C_00003355/Versa_J24_Tempered_Glass_ARGB_Edition/Specification.htm) which is said to have a 160 mm clearance but in this very moment, I am using the aforementioned Cooler in that case and it doesnt even touches the tempered glass panel. Stranger even, Why wouldn't the Fan fit in the H500 if it is actually wider than the J24? (H500 is 210 mm wide, versus the 206 mm of the J24)

 

I am a little warned about pc part picker and the registered heights on the webpages. should I believe PC part picker and the webpasges this time or could someone tell me if the use a 165 mm cooler in the H500 case.

 

Thank you so much!

The amount of space used behind the motherboard tray can affect the amount of clearance left for the cooler. 

Since you already have the cooler and the Versa J24, you can measure both and see which one is deviating from the spec listed.

Chances are that the H500 has slightly more room than listed so it'll probably fit.
