I guess Pcpartpicker lied

 

 

pcpartpicker  is still great nonetheless, sometimes these bugs happen.

What are you two talking about? All it's telling you is that it is not checking whether or not the case and fans are compatible.

I am asking this because PC part picker is saying Case fan compatibility checking is currently not supported.

Case: Fractal Design Define R4 w/Window (Black Pearl) ATX Mid Tower

Fans: Gelid Solutions Silent 14 PWM 74.5 CFM 140mm 3x

PP didn't get a memo from fractal design that other 140mm fans would be compatible

in the case. some fans might be for a 140, but design may not allow it to be plug'n'play

(Noctua NF-P14, some of the TheramalRight fans, and closed chassis might not work

in the front panel locations)

 

PP also told me the EATX motherboard is uncompatible in my Arc Midi and it does

fine. so moving onto 2011 from the MIVE-Z.

Yea this has 7 140mm fan slots so it should support it. PCpartpicker is just saying that it can't check so you would have to check it yourself.
