The side panel may bulge a little bit but you should be okay.

Hello, and thanks for reading this already!

 

I'm looking into the Corsair 350D case, which I want to combine with a Dark Rock 3 cooler. Which is equal in height as the maximum allowed CPU Cooler height, 160mm.

So, now I want to ask. Will this give any problems? Will something bend, or something like that?

 

Thanks in advance!

Is it more advised to go with a lower height cooler? Especially since this rig will be transported a lot, and I don't really want my side window to break.

The Pure Rock and spray paint it black?

I would advise to go below what the manufacture supports just in case something does go wrong.

It appears that it will fit. Have fun putting that cooler on though - it's a bitch to install.
