Hi, i'm looking for a case with enough clearance to top mount the Arctic Freezer II 280mm, the case needs to have at least ~70mm of clearance between the mobo and the top.

I've tried with the DeepCool Matrexx 55 Mesh and soon enough discovered that the rad fan is blocked by the ram "clips", and had to remove both of the heat spreaders from my Asus Z-390F

Budget around 100€, preferably from "Amazon Italia".

Phanteks p500a. That should have 65mm clearance on top, and thats the thickness of LF II 280 with fans.

I cant see why not. Although 3x140 should be better.

I know this is thread is quite old but, was it physically unable to be installed into the matrexx 55 due to ram/mb clearance or was it just covering the ram?
