Thick radiator question

[Samoyed]

I'm planning a new build and I want to use the Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro AIO mounted in the top of the case.

I see it has a thicker radiator - 38 mm and needs about 63 mm total space for the radiaor and fans.

Does anyone know if this extra space requirement causes a problem on certain cases?

I'v seen it be a problem in certain cases with certain motherboards with very thick VRM Heatsinks for example.

Its rare but it does happen.

Or in the front of a case where the extra thickness doesn't allow for the bottom fan to be used as it would hit the case due to a smaller cutout on the bottom.

 

Why don't you tell us the case you are thinking about and your motherboard and we'll double check  

Its usually not an issue and its only a handful of times I have seen this be mentioned as a problem.

Thanks.

 

I was looking at a NZXT H6 FLOW Compact Dual-Chamber Mid-Tower Airflow Case, Black, CC-H61FB-01

I ultimately went with a NZXT H9 Flow RGB (2025) – Large Dual-Chamber ATX Mid-Tower Airflow PC Case
