What Noctua will fit in my case?

CrysisLegend

Ok guys I'm struggling a bit here. Here's my case:

 

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811108376

 

Here are noctua's products: 

 

http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=productview&products_id=63&lng=en&set=1

 

Most are around 160mm average which is a little over 6 inches...I've been measuring in my case and if it sticks out 6 inches it's gonna be really tough. I'm trying to find a high end CPU cooler and have been interested in Noctua. Even the 12s seem like they aren't much shorter =/ Any help? 

 

Edit: Maybe one like this? It's oriented different but it doesn't stick out as far as a result.

You have to find out the max cpu cooler height for your case, check the manufacturer website? The noctua NH C14 was designed for smaller cases and it would definitely fit because you can remove a fan for more clearance, although that would be undesirable imo as it would reduce performance

The most common result of insufficient wattage is a paperweight that looks like a PC

Unfortunately the manual nor the website has this information...=/

Sorry, my content blockers removing the link.

A noctua C14 will fit, as will an L12.

Turns out the Noctua NH-U14S will fit in my case (barely). I went on their site and found the exact height in mm. I should be clear with about half an inch of room between the fans and the case. I am glad to see this so I can have a full performance Noctua. There is a possibility I might have to move my giant side case fan if it gets in the way. I can always replace it with up to 6 120mm fans if I reallllly wanted to. But I thin it should fit ok, gonna be close, hope this fan is worth it. My liquid cooling days are over.
