Hi everyone,

I was wondering I have a small desktop space and currently have the corsair carbide 678C computer case and considering down sizing to the Corsair icue 220t airflow case, build is as follows:

 

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3800 8 core

Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix B550 F-Gaming Wi-Fi

RAM Corsair Vengenance RGB PRo

Graphics Card: 2060 Super

CPU Cooler: Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 4

 

A note about the cooler, I have the slid up a little to clear the RAM, I'm wondering if my components will fit the corsair icue 220t airflow and will it keep the pc cooler better? Thanks for help.

According to Corsair the iCue 220T airflow has a maximum CPU height clearance of 160mm and that heat sink, without mounting hardware is 162.8 mm... so no lol.

ok thanks do you have any recommendations on a compact atx case that will fit my cooler or will i have to change processor and cooler for something smaller?

If you want a compact ATX case with good thermals, check out the Lian Li Lancool II Mesh.

It's easily the best choice among midrange-premium ATX cases both for performance and utility.

 

If you have a lower budget, consider the Silverstone Fara R1. It only comes with 1 fan so be sure to reuse your current fans.
